  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

  • Remove from oven and let the wedges rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the best results, make sure the sweet potato wedges are spread out evenly on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can lead to steaming rather than roasting. If needed, use two baking sheets or cook in batches. Adjust the seasoning to taste, and consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs after baking for added flavor.
