These roasted garlic sweet potato wedges are not just a side dish; they are a comforting snack, a vibrant addition to any meal, and a healthy alternative to traditional fries.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 pounds)
4-6 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is essential for achieving crispy edges.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into wedges, about 1 inch thick. Aim for uniformity to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss until the wedges are evenly coated.
Spread the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they roast rather than steam.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
