Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Spatula or tongs

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato cut into 8–10 wedges
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease the pan.
  • Place the sweet potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the avocado oil and sprinkle with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each wedge.
  • Roast for 15 minutes.
  • Flip the wedges with a spatula or tongs and continue roasting for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fork tender and nicely browned around the edges.
  • Taste and season with additional salt if desired.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For crispier wedges: Avoid overcrowding the pan. If doubling the recipe, use two baking sheets or roast in batches.
  • Make them smoky: Add ½ teaspoon smoked paprika or a pinch of chipotle powder with the seasonings.
  • Sweet variation: Replace the garlic powder and pepper with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon coconut sugar for a sweeter side dish.
  • Cheesy version: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a 400°F oven for 8–10 minutes or in an air fryer at 375°F for 4–5 minutes until heated through.
