Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 sweet potato rinsed) sliced into wedges, large
  • ¼ cup avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning , adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt , to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F and position an oven rack in the middle.
  2. Scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then cut each potato in half lengthwise. Next, cut each half into thirds lengthwise, resulting in 6 long wedges from each potato.
  3. Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Add Cajun seasoning, oregano, granulated garlic, red pepper flakes, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, paprika, and kosher salt to the bowl. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
  4. Grease a rimmed sheet pan with 1 tablespoon of oil (avoid using foil as the potatoes may stick). Arrange the coated potato wedges on the sheet pan in a single layer, placing them with one cut side down.
  5. Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown and become crispy about 45 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through the cooking time using a flat spatula for even browning.
  6. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and taste for seasoning. Adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more kosher salt to taste.
  7. Transfer the baked potato wedges to a serving platter.
