These crispy brown sugar roasted sweet potato wedges offer a perfect balance of sweet and savory with a caramelized crust and tender inside, making them an addictive snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds / 900 grams), peeled and cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 12 even wedges each, about 1-inch thick.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Add the sweet potato wedges and toss gently but thoroughly to coat each wedge.
  4. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart to avoid crowding.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes, then carefully flip each wedge using a spatula to crisp both sides evenly.
  6. Roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping again if necessary, until wedges are golden with crisp, caramelized edges. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  7. Let the wedges rest on the pan for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sugar glaze to set.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil the wedges for the last 2-3 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning. Avoid overcrowding the pan; roast in batches if needed. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup. For air fryer adaptation, roast at 400°F (205°C) for 15-18 minutes, shaking halfway through.
