Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges
If I had to choose one favorite among all the things I’ve cooked this month, I’d pick these Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges.
Yes, y’all. They are that good.
You probably know by now how much I love sweet and spicy things, and the best representation is this recipe. Adding just enough spice really balances the super sweet flavor of sweet potatoes.
And while they’re awesome in a casserole for Thanksgiving or baked with a pat of cinnamon butter, these wedges are hands down my favorite way to consume them.
Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges are an excellent side dish for red meat – burgers, steak or meatloaf are especially awesome with them. And I made chili fries recently by pairing them with my Instant Pot Chili (life changing – I’ll never have them any other way again)!
I love bringing these to cookouts and potlucks! If you have access to an oven at your destination or they wont need to sit or travel for very long, I would suggest cooking these as the recipe states, then transporting them in a foil pan. Just reheat them covered with foil in a 250°F oven to get them to the perfect serving temperature.
Now, sweet potatoes do take a little while to get crispy. These are amazing when they’re soft yet dry and not too crispy or burnt, but if you prefer them like that, just leave them in the oven for a few extra minutes or broil them. But keep your eye on them to avoid burning down the house.
