Ingredients

  • 3 sweet potatoes peeled and cut lengthwise in wedges
  • 1– 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Garlic Aioli or honey mustard dip

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Soak sweet potato wedges in water for 1 hour (or at least 15 - 30 minutes).
  2. Preheat the oven to 425 F.
  3. Drain and pat dry to remove moisture.
  4. Add cornstarch in a ziplock bag, add sweet potato wedges, and coat with starch all over.
  5. Add olive oil to the bag and the seasonings (salt, paprika, oregano, onion and garlic powder).
  6. Remove sweet potato wedges from the bag and arrange them on a parchment paper baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 425 F for 20 – 25 minutes, until crispy on the outside and tender fork inside.
  7. Serve warm with garlic aioli or honey mustard dip.

Notes

  • Honey mustard dip: 3 Tbsp Dijon & 2 Tbsp honey
  • Don't skip soaking the sweet potatoes. This helps to remove starch, so the wedges get nice and crisp in the oven.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into similar sizes so that they cook evenly through.
  • I prefer to remove the skins of the sweet potatoes, but you can leave them on if they are thin. Just give them a good scrub to remove any dirt.
  • Honey mustard dip: 3 Tbsp Dijon & 2 Tbsp honey
