The first time I had roasted sweet potato wedges was at a restaurant in the Bay Area. They were so delicious that I couldn't stop thinking about them. I knew I had to recreate them at home, but I wanted to make them even better. I experimented with different combinations of herbs and spices, and I finally came up with this recipe. These wedges are the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and they're always a hit with my family and friends.

Prep time: 20 | Cook time: 30 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• Medium sweet potatoes (1.5 pounds)
• Avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)
• Fresh rosemary, chopped (1 teaspoon)
• Fresh sage, chopped (1 teaspoon)
• Fresh thyme, chopped (1 teaspoon)
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
• Parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Scrub the sweet potatoes clean and cut them into 1-inch wedges.
3. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato wedges, oil, garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Spread the seasoned wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Roast for 22-27 minutes or until tender and slightly browned, tossing halfway through.
6. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
7. Serve hot as a side dish.

Why It Works

• Roasting the sweet potatoes at a high temperature helps to create a crispy exterior while keeping the interior fluffy.
• The combination of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices gives the wedges a delicious depth of flavor.
• Tossing the wedges halfway through roasting helps to ensure that they cook evenly.
