Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients, but you can peel them if desired.
Step 3
Cut each sweet potato into wedges by slicing them in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3-4 equally sized wedges.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic cloves, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Step 5
Place the sweet potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the seasoned olive oil mixture over them, and toss until the wedges are evenly coated.
Step 6
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, making sure not to overcrowd them to ensure crisp edges.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Step 8
Once the wedges are golden and tender, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for a few minutes.
Step 9
Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
