3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfectly Crispy Sweet Potatoes
Preparation of Sweet Potatoes
Peel and Cut
Start by peeling the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized wedges, about 1/2-inch thick, to ensure consistent cooking and crispiness.
Season and Marinate
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure each wedge is well coated. For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle with dried herbs like thyme or rosemary.
Bake or Air Fry the Wedges
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or an Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. Alternatively, use an air fryer for even crispier results—set at 400°F (200°C) and cook for 15-20 minutes.
Add Parmesan and Serve
Once baked, sprinkle the hot sweet potato wedges with grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired. The cheese will melt slightly, enhancing the savory flavor. Serve these crispy sweet potatoes immediately for the best experience.
4. Storage Tips for Leftover Sweet Potato Wedges
To keep leftovers fresh, store the baked sweet potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply bake again at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes or until crispy. These wedges are best enjoyed fresh, but with proper storage, you can savor them the next day!
5. Delicious Serving Suggestions
These healthy snack sweet potato wedges are versatile and can be served alongside a variety of dishes. Pair them with a fresh garden salad or add a protein like grilled chicken from Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken. They also make a fantastic appetizer for parties or game day snacks. For an extra dip, try our homemade ranch or spicy aioli!
