A delightful twist on classic sweet potato wedges, enhanced with aromatic spices for a flavorful experience.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps achieve a crispy texture.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized wedges.
Uniform wedges ensure even cooking and a consistent texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, curry powder, ground cumin, ground cloves, salt, and black pepper.
Mixing the spices with the oil first ensures even coating on the wedges.
Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the wedges while ensuring they are well coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the wedges in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
Spacing the wedges prevents steaming and promotes crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are golden and tender.
Flipping the wedges halfway ensures even browning on all sides.
Serve the wedges hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro add a burst of color and flavor.
