Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potato Wedges:

2 large sweet potatoes, washed and peeled

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for added heat)

For the Zesty Aioli:

½ cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 garlic clove, minced finely

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

¼ teaspoon sea salt

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it heats up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to facilitate easy cleanup and prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Rinse the sweet potatoes under cold water. Once peeled, cut them into wedges approximately 1/2 inch thick. This thickness ensures even roasting and optimal crispiness.

      Season the Wedges: Place the sweet potato wedges into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss gently until all wedges are well-coated with the seasoning.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer the seasoned wedges onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer with some space between each piece. This spacing is crucial for achieving a crispy texture during baking.

          Bake the Wedges: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. They should come out golden brown with crispy edges.

            Make the Zesty Aioli: While the sweet potato wedges are baking, prepare your zesty aioli. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and sea salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy, adjusting the seasoning to taste if needed.

              Serve: After baking, allow the sweet potato wedges to cool for a few minutes. Serve them hot alongside the zesty aioli for dipping. For an added touch of freshness, garnish with finely chopped parsley.

                Enjoy your delightful, crispy baked sweet potato wedges accompanied by a tangy and creamy aioli dip!
