Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon cornstarch (for added crispiness)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Your choice of dipping sauce (such as garlic aioli or spicy ranch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To make cleanup a breeze, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Slice them into wedges, aiming for uniform thickness of about 1 inch to ensure they cook evenly.

      Create the Spice Mix: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. Stir well until all the spices are fully combined.

        Coat the Wedges: Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potato wedges in the bowl. Next, sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the wedges. Using your hands or a spatula, toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are generously coated with the olive oil and spices.

          Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Transfer the seasoned sweet potato wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Be sure to leave space between each wedge to promote even cooking and maximization of crispiness.

            Bake: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the sweet potato wedges for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time. They are done when they turn golden brown and crisp on the outside while remaining tender inside.

              Garnish and Serve: After baking, remove the sweet potato wedges from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. For a burst of color and flavor, garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve alongside your choice of dipping sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
