Baked Sweet Potato Wedges are a delicious and nutritious side dish that brings a touch of sweetness to any meal. Their crispy exterior and tender interior make them a perfect accompaniment to grilled meats or as a standalone snack.

Ingredients

• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon

2. Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then slice them into wedges (about 1.5 cm thick).
3. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the wedges are evenly coated.
