These baked sweet potato wedges are super easy to make and they are either awesome on their own or to form the base of a meal. You can change up the accompanying ingredients quite easily to suit your dietary needs.

These oven roasted wedges have been on the menu at the Becomingness household for years and years.

Sometimes I make them on their own and have them with a yummy dipping sauce, like this garlic aioli or they are also great to form the base of my loaded sweet potato fries or healthy loaded sweet potato fries.

Baked Garlic Butter Sweet Potato Fries. These fries are so easy to make and they make a great side to so many meals or they are just as awesome on their own!

So you obviously need sweet potato to make this recipe. I recommend finding medium sized sweet potato as they are easier to slice into wedges.

Then you need to choose which flavour option you would prefer to make.

Salt, pepper and oil (either olive oil or coconut oil)
Salt, pepper, garlic powder and oil
Butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper

HOW TO MAKE

STEP 1 - First you slice the sweet potatoes into wedges and add to a bowl with your preferred flavour option.

STEP 2 - then place the fries on a baking tray or baking sheet.

STEP 3 - Cook for 30 - 35 minutes or until crispy. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

FLAVOUR OPTIONS

Salt, pepper and oil - you can use either olive oil or coconut oil. I am a olive oil fan for cooking. All you need is to drizzle two tablespoons and add a pinch of salt and pepper.

Salt, pepper, garlic powder and oil - this is the same as the flavour option above but you add 1 tablespoon of garlic powder.

Garlic powder, butter, salt and pepper - For this combination, drizzle 2 tablespoons butter over the wedges with the garlic powder, salt and pepper.

I have also made my wedges with paprika, onion salt and various herbs. I will update this section when I am 100% happy with the new flavour options.

SECRETS TO PERFECT WEDGES

Mix the flavours really well with the wedges to ensure that they coated really well.
Make sure you don't over crowd the wedges on the baking tray or baking sheet.
Make sure you slice the sweet potato into wedges that are all similar sizes.
