This recipe uses a few simple ingredients that really let the natural flavor of sweet potatoes shine—and you can easily change things up with your favorite seasonings. Try different seasonings, like our Creole Seasoning or Garam Masala, or even fresh or dried rosemary, curry powder, or lemon pepper to suit your taste.

• Olive Oil: Tossing the potatoes in olive oil gives them a nice golden-brown color and crisps the outsides as they roast.
• One Sweet Potato: Sweet potatoes are naturally full of flavor and nutrients, and roasting brings out their soft, creamy texture inside. If you’ve got extra sweet potatoes, consider using them to make a Sweet Potato Pie or Sweet Potato and Black Bean Salad.
• Kosher Salt – A little salt brings out all the other flavors.
• Black Pepper – Adds just a bit of mild heat and a hint of citrusy flavor to balance the dish.
• Paprika – I use sweet paprika in this recipe, which brings a mild, warm flavor that complements the sweetness of the potato without overpowering it. If you prefer a little smoky kick, smoked paprika works great too and adds a hint of that classic BBQ flavor. Either way, paprika gives these wedges a bit more depth and a beautiful touch of color.
• Cinnamon – Just a touch of cinnamon highlights the natural sweetness of the sweet potato and adds a warm, earthy note to the wedges. It’s subtle but gives a little something extra that makes each bite more flavorful.

Dipping Sauces For Sweet Potato Wedges

Roasted sweet potato wedges are wonderful to enjoy with a great dipping sauce on the side! Here are some favorites, each bringing out different flavors that pair well with the slight sweetness of the potatoes:

• Garlic Aioli – A creamy garlic aioli adds a rich, garlicky flavor that complements the warm spices on the wedges. To make it, just mix mayo with minced garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. This sauce is smooth, tangy, and works wonderfully with the crispy potato edges.
• Spicy Mayo Ketchup Blend – A simple blend of mayonnaise and ketchup with a dash or two of hot sauce. It’s creamy, a little tangy, and has just the right amount of kick. This classic combo is quick to mix up and goes perfectly with roasted sweet potatoes.
• Honey Mustard – The sweetness of honey mustard pairs well with the natural sweetness of the wedges. Use equal parts honey, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard for a tangy, slightly sweet sauce that brings out the warm, earthy flavors in the potatoes.
• BBQ Ranch – Combine ranch dressing with a spoonful of BBQ sauce for a tangy, smoky dip that adds a delicious depth of flavor. This sauce is rich, creamy, and has a slight sweetness that goes well with the warmth of roasted sweet potatoes.
