Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

¼ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To simplify cleanup, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes. If you prefer, peel them, then slice each sweet potato into equal wedges, aiming for about 1-inch thickness to ensure they cook uniformly.

      Create the Seasoning Mix: In a generously sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. If you’re opting for sweetness, incorporate the honey at this stage. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

        Coat the Wedges: Introduce the sweet potato wedges to the seasoned oil mixture in the bowl. Gently toss until each wedge is fully coated with the flavorful seasoning.

          Arrange for Baking: Lay the coated sweet potato wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid crowding the wedges to guarantee they crisp up beautifully.

            Bake to Perfection: Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wedges for approximately 25-30 minutes. Be sure to flip them halfway through to promote even crispiness. They should emerge golden brown, with slightly charred edges and tender interiors.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baking is complete, remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for about two minutes. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for an added touch of color and freshness. Serve warm alongside Greek yogurt or sour cream for a delightful dipping experience.

                Enjoy! Pair your Sweet & Smoky Baked Sweet Potato Wedges with your favorite main dish or savor them as a tasty snack all on their own.
