Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat). Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, scrubbing the skin with a brush if possible.

Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise and widthwise. Then, place each quarter on the board with the cut side down and cut into six to eight equal wedges.

Place sweet potato wedges in a large bowl and toss with oil, starch, spices, and a generous amount of salt and pepper. (Alternatively, marinate the wedges directly on the baking sheet.)

Distribute the sweet potato wedges evenly on the baking sheet (if they don't all fit, then distribute them between two baking sheets) and place in the preheated oven at 200°C for 40 minutes, turning the wedges over halfway through and then putting the baking sheet back in the oven the other way around.

Before serving, mix the wedges with some lime zest (about ¼ to ½ of the peel), fleur de sel and fresh herbs as desired, and serve with your choice of dip.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cornstarch Coating Secret 🥔
Toss sweet potato wedges in cornstarch before the spice mix to create an incredibly crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender and creamy.
Dry Surface Matters 💧
Pat your cut sweet potatoes completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming during cooking.
Spice Bloom Technique 🌶️
Toast your smoked paprika, cumin, and coriander in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing with oil to intensify their flavors and deepen the overall taste profile.
Lime Zest Final Touch 🍋
Reserve fresh lime zest and cilantro for finishing the wedges right after they come out of the oil, ensuring maximum brightness and preventing herb flavor loss from heat.
Oil Temperature Control 🌡️
Heat your oil to 350-375°F before adding wedges to achieve a golden crust in 4-5 minutes; too low creates greasy fries, too high burns the outside before cooking inside.
