Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, firm, starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes work best. They hold their shape well during cooking and become crispy on the outside while staying tender on the inside.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: To ensure even cooking, cut the potatoes into uniform wedges. This will help them cook at the same rate.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the potato wedges, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Toss the potatoes in the spice mixture: Before roasting, toss the potato wedges in a mixture of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This will give them a delicious, savory flavor.
  • Roast the potatoes until crispy: Roast the potato wedges in a preheated oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: These chili-spiced sweet potato wedges are great on their own, but they can also be served with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, ketchup, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

These chili-spiced sweet potato wedges are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
