Smoky, crispy, and deeply satisfying, these sweet potato wedges are the perfect side or snack. With bold spices and foolproof roasting or air frying, they’re the ultimate balance of flavor and nutrition.
Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes (peeled if preferred)
2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
¾ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp cornstarch
Fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary) for garnish
Instructions
1. Scrub sweet potatoes and cut into ½–¾ inch wedges.
2. (Optional) Soak in cold water for 20 minutes, then pat dry.
3. Toss wedges with oil, cornstarch, and all spices.
4. Arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway.
6. Sprinkle with fresh herbs immediately after baking.
7. Serve hot with your favorite dip.
Notes
Air Fryer Option: Cook at 400°F for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway through.
For crispier results, avoid overlapping wedges and don’t tent with foil.
Leftovers? Store in the fridge for 3–4 days or freeze post-bake. Reheat in air fryer for crunch.
