Spiced Sweet Potato Wedges
Looking for the perfect accompaniment to your favorite sandwich? These Spiced Sweet Potato Wedges take the cake! You'll love the combination of spices that make these wedges taste deliciously different.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and patted dry
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¾ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon chipotle chili powder (or substitute chili powder with a pinch of cayenne pepper)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking tray with parchment or a silicone baking mat. Cut the ends off the sweet potatoes, then cut in half lengthwise. Carefully cut each half into 4 long wedges: once finished, you’ll have 16 wedges. Place in a large bowl, then add the remaining ingredients. Using your hands, mix well until the sweet potato wedges are evenly coated with the oil, maple syrup, and spices. Arrange in a single layer on the baking tray. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are fully cooked and started to brown at the edges. Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple minutes, and serve.
