Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Cut each sweet potato into evenly sized wedges (about 6-8 wedges per potato depending on size).
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, sesame seeds, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. If using honey for a touch of sweetness, add it to the mixture.
Step 4
Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This helps them roast evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure both sides become golden and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the sweet potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired for garnish.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or snack!
