Delicious Spicy Sweet Potato Wedges Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into wedges)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (adds smoky flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into wedges.

    Try to keep the wedges uniform in size for consistent cooking.
  3. Season the Wedges

    In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

    Use your hands to ensure all wedges are well coated.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan for better crispiness.
  5. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

    Keep an eye on the wedges to prevent burning.
