Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to ensure crispiness.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized wedges (about 1/2-inch thick) for uniform cooking. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

      Season the Wedges: Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potato wedges. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper over them. Toss well to ensure each wedge is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for crispiness.

          Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through. Bake until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

            Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the wedges from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm as a side dish or snack, paired with your favorite dipping sauce!
