Enjoy these crispy baked sweet potato wedges, a healthier alternative to traditional fries, perfect as a side dish or snack.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and crispiness.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly.
Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges of even size.
Uniform wedges ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt.
Mix well to evenly coat the wedges later.
Toss the sweet potato wedges in the seasoning mix until well coated.
Ensure all wedges are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spacing out the wedges prevents steaming and promotes crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Flipping ensures even browning on all sides.
Serve the wedges hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of additional salt.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
