Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

Optional: Dipping sauce of your choice (e.g., garlic aioli, ranch dressing)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Scrub the sweet potatoes under running water. Cut them into wedges (about 1 inch thick). Make sure to keep the wedges uniform in size for even cooking.

      Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the spices are well incorporated.

        Coat the Wedges: Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss them well until all wedges are evenly coated in the spice mixture.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there’s enough space between the wedges for them to get crispy.

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

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool slightly. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley for an added pop of color. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
