Sweet potatoes are often lauded for their exceptional nutritional value. A single serving of sweet potato is packed with beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body—essential for maintaining healthy eyesight and immune function. In addition to vitamin A, sweet potatoes contain significant amounts of vitamin C, which supports skin health and boosts the immune system. They are also high in potassium, a vital mineral that helps regulate blood pressure, and fiber, which promotes healthy digestion.

Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for extra heat)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that the sweet potatoes roast nicely and obtain a crispy texture.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut sweet potato wedges with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated.

      Season the Wedges: Sprinkle in the chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix everything together until the wedges are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup. Spread the sweet potato wedges in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.

          Roasting: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potato wedges for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside.

            Finishing Touch: Once roasted, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and drizzle with fresh lime juice.

              Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the wedges for a burst of freshness. Serve immediately as a side dish or healthy snack.
