Ingredients
  

  • 4.0 medium sweet potatoes
  • 4.0 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3.0 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2.0 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1.0 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1.0 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.0 to taste Salt
  • 0.0 to taste black pepper
  • 0.0 to taste Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for optimal crispiness.
  • Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into wedges, approximately 1 inch thick.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
  • Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl with the garlic-olive oil mixture. Toss the wedges thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the mixture.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the sweet potato wedges in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space in between for even baking.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Flip the wedges halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides become golden brown and crispy.
  • The wedges are done when they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can check by inserting a fork into the thickest part of a wedge; it should glide through easily.
  • Remove from the oven and let the wedges cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and serve warm, either as a side dish or a delicious snack.
