Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

Dipping sauce of your choice (e.g., garlic aioli, spicy yogurt, or ranch)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into wedges by slicing them lengthwise into quarters, then cut each quarter into smaller wedges if desired.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed to create a spicy oil blend.

Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and spread the coated sweet potato wedges in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

If using, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking for an extra cheesy touch.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Serve your Baked Sweet Potato Snack Wedges warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
