Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into wedges or fries. Toss them in a large bowl with 2-4 tablespoons of olive oil, then spread in a single layer flat side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon sea salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

In a small bowl, mix 2-4 tablespoons lime juice, 3 garlic cloves, 1 cup Greek yogurt, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon cumin, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne. Add ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir until smooth and refrigerate.

Serve sweet potatoes warm, topped with chopped cilantro and the yogurt dipping sauce on the side.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Sweet Potato Cutting Technique 🔪
Cut sweet potatoes into uniform wedges to ensure even roasting and consistent crispiness. Aim for wedges about 1/2 inch thick for the perfect balance of crispy exterior and creamy interior.
Spice Bloom Trick 🌶️
Toast your ground cumin and paprika in a dry skillet for 30 seconds before seasoning to intensify their flavors and release their essential oils, creating a more complex and aromatic spice coating.
Yogurt Dip Pro Hack 🥄
Let your Greek yogurt dip sit for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the garlic and cilantro flavors to meld and develop a more robust taste profile.
Crispy Potato Secret 🥔
Pat sweet potato wedges completely dry with paper towels before seasoning and roasting to maximize crispiness and prevent steaming instead of roasting.
Oil Distribution Technique 💦
Use a squeeze bottle or pastry brush to evenly distribute olive oil on sweet potato wedges, ensuring each piece gets uniform coating and perfect golden-brown color.
