Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C).
Scrub and dry the sweet potato. You can peel it, but I like to leave the skin on for added texture.
Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half in half again to make four long pieces. Slice each piece into wedges.
Arrange the wedges on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with cinnamon, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the wedges evenly.
Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the sheet and flip the wedges with a spatula. Return to the oven for another 5–10 minutes, until they’re lightly browned and tender. Sprinkle with a little extra salt if desired and enjoy them warm.
Notes
Cut Evenly: This helps the wedges cook at the same rate.
Try Different Spices: Customize with your favorite seasonings.
Serve Right Away: Best enjoyed fresh for the ideal texture and flavor.
Want Extra Crispiness? Broil for 1–2 minutes after roasting.
