Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into evenly sized wedges

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for an extra kick)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by setting your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is crucial for achieving perfectly roasted sweet potatoes that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the cut sweet potato wedges. Pour in the olive oil and toss them thoroughly to coat each piece evenly.

      Season the Wedges: Add the chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if you dare!). Stir well to ensure all the wedges are evenly coated with the vibrant spice mixture.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to facilitate easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure to leave space between them to promote even roasting.

          Roasting: Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and roast the sweet potato wedges for approximately 25-30 minutes. Make sure to flip them halfway through to encourage even browning. The wedges should come out golden and crispy.

            Finishing Touch: Once they’re roasted to perfection, take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and gently drizzle them with fresh lime juice, enhancing their flavor profile with a bright acidity.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish off by sprinkling chopped cilantro over the warm wedges for a touch of freshness. Serve these delicious roasted sweet potato wedges immediately as a side dish or a nutritious snack.
