Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon honey (optional for added sweetness)

Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

¼ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes (if you prefer) and cut them into wedges. Aim for uniform thickness (about 1 inch) to ensure even cooking.

      Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. If you’re using honey, add it here as well. Mix everything until it's well combined.

        Coat the Sweet Potatoes: Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until they’re evenly coated.

          Bake Them: Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they’re not overcrowded to ensure they get crispy.

            Roasting Time: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they are crispy and golden brown. The edges should be slightly charred and the insides tender.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven, and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm with a side of Greek yogurt or sour cream for dipping.

                Enjoy! Pair your Sweet & Smoky Baked Sweet Potato Wedges with your favorite main course or enjoy them as a delicious snack on their own.
