Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Wedges
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Chipotle Mayo Dip
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chipotle pepper sauce
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for roasting the sweet potatoes to perfection.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and cut sweet potato wedges with olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated with the spices and oil.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Roast until they are tender inside and crispy on the outside, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Chipotle Mayo: While the sweet potatoes roast, combine mayonnaise, chipotle pepper sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
- Serve: Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, serve them hot with the chipotle mayonnaise dip on the side for a smoky and spicy flavor combination.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, place the sweet potato wedges on a wire rack over the baking sheet while roasting.
- You can adjust the spiciness by adding more or less chipotle pepper sauce to the mayo dip.
- Sweet potatoes can be cut thicker or thinner depending on your preference, but adjust roasting time accordingly.
- This recipe is perfect as a side dish or a flavorful snack.
- For a vegan version, substitute mayonnaise with vegan mayo.
