A delightful twist on classic sweet potato fries, these wedges are crispy, flavorful, and easy to prepare.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into evenly sized wedges.
Cutting the wedges evenly ensures they cook at the same rate.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Mixing the seasoning in a bowl ensures even coating on the wedges.
Toss the sweet potato wedges in the seasoning mixture until they are well coated.
Use your hands to ensure all wedges are evenly coated.
Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
Spacing the wedges out allows for better air circulation and crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wedges and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.
Flipping the wedges halfway through ensures even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Allowing the wedges to cool slightly enhances their crispiness.
