Roasted sweet potato wedges

Roasted sweet potato wedges are a delicious and healthy side dish that complements a wide variety of main courses. These wedges are easy to prepare and packed with flavor, making them a perfect addition to any meal. In this recipe, we'll show you how to create crispy, golden wedges using simple ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp olive oil
40g
1 tsp salt
5g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1g
4 sweet potatos
1000g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prep the Sweet Potatoes:
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients, but you can peel them if you prefer.
3. Cut into Wedges:
Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise, and then slice each half into wedges. Aim for uniformity in size to ensure even cooking.
4. Season the Wedges:
Place the wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over them and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all the wedges are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
5. Arrange on a Baking Sheet:
Spread the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure they are not too crowded. You might need to use two baking sheets if necessary.
6. Roast the Wedges:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the edges while being tender on the inside.
7. Check for Doneness:
Pierce a wedge with a fork to check for tenderness. If necessary, roast for a few more minutes until they reach your desired consistency.
8. Serve:
Remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Transfer them to a serving plate and they are ready to enjoy!

Tips:

- Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and free from blemishes for the best results.

- Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized wedges to ensure they cook evenly.

- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder, smoked paprika, or your favorite seasoning blend to the oil mixture.

- If you prefer a softer texture, you can parboil the sweet potato wedges for a few minutes before roasting them.

- Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure they crisp up nicely. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting.

- Halfway through cooking, flip the wedges to ensure an even roast on all sides.
