These spicy sweet potato wedges are a flavorful and healthy snack or side dish, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and crispy results.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into wedges.
Try to cut the wedges evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil until evenly coated.
Coating the wedges evenly with oil helps the spices stick better.
Combine chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the wedges and toss to coat.
Mixing the spices beforehand ensures an even distribution of flavor.
Spread the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation.
Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Turning the wedges ensures they cook evenly on all sides.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with additional salt if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Serving the wedges immediately ensures they retain their crispiness.
