### Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Wedges Recipe


These oven-baked sweet potato wedges are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a delicious and healthy side dish. Here’s a simple recipe to prepare them.


#### Ingredients


- **Sweet Potatoes**: 3 medium (about 1.5 lbs), peeled (optional) and cut into wedges

- **Olive Oil**: 2–3 tablespoons

- **Garlic Powder**: ¾ teaspoon

- **Smoked Paprika**: ¾ teaspoon

- **Salt**: ¾ teaspoon

- **Black Pepper**: ¼ teaspoon

- **Onion Powder**: ¼ teaspoon (optional)

- **Chipotle Chile Powder**: ½ teaspoon (optional for heat)

- **Dried Rosemary or Thyme**: ½ teaspoon (optional)


#### Instructions


1. **Preheat the Oven**:

   - Preheat your oven to **425°F (220°C)**. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.


2. **Prepare the Sweet Potatoes**:

   - Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. If desired, peel them. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into wedges about ½ to 1 inch thick.


3. **Season the Wedges**:

   - In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. 

   - In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, onion powder, chipotle powder, and dried herbs (if using). Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the wedges and toss again until well coated.


4. **Arrange on Baking Sheet**:

   - Spread the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other. This helps them get crispy.


5. **Bake**:

   - Bake in the preheated oven for about **20 minutes**. After 20 minutes, flip the wedges over with a spatula and return them to the oven for an additional **10–15 minutes**, or until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.


6. **Serve**:

   - Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious oven-baked sweet potato wedges as a side dish or snack!
