Crispy and soft, sweet and salty! Crispy Oven Baked Sweet Potato Wedges are a great side addition to any meal, or serve as the main event!
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tbsp safflower oil
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Slice sweet potatoes into wedges of equal size.
- Place wedges into a bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit on counter or place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Drain water and place sweet potato wedges on a clean, dry tea towel. Let the wedges dry for approx. 30 minutes. To speed up the process, tab the sweet potato with the tea towel to remove excess moisture.
- Put the dry sweet potato wedges in a dry bowl and add safflower oil and salt. Mix to coat wedges.
- Place wedges on baking sheet, making sure not to over crowd the pan - each pieces should have one side fully on the pan.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake sweet potato wedges for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, flip each wedge, place pan back in oven and increase heat to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 20 minutes or until wedges start to darken in colour and get crispy. Time will depend on sizes of wedges. Decrease time for thinner wedges.
- Serve hot!
