Mixing the spices beforehand ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss again to coat evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the wedges.
Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet.
Ensure the wedges are not overlapping to allow proper roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning the wedges every 10 minutes for even browning.
Turning the wedges helps achieve a uniform crispy texture.
