Provided by Marie

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Peel potatoes and cut into 1" wedges.
  • In a large bowl, toss potatoes with oil.
  • Mix sugar and seasonings together and add to potatoes.
  • Toss until evenly coated.
  • Spread on a non stick baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes until browned and done.

Tips for Making Perfect Yam Wedges:

  • Choose the right yams: Look for yams that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any yams that are soft or have bruises or cuts.
  • Cut the yams into even wedges: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the yams lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 or 4 wedges.
  • Toss the yam wedges with oil and seasonings: This will help them to crisp up and brown in the oven. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or melted butter. Season the wedges with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any other desired spices.
  • Roast the yam wedges at a high temperature: This will help them to get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Roast the yam wedges at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
  • Serve the yam wedges hot: Yam wedges are best served hot out of the oven. You can serve them with a dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Yam wedges are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them crispy or soft, savory or sweet, there is a yam wedge recipe out there for everyone. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying side dish, give yam wedges a try. You won't be disappointed!
