How To Make Baked Sweet Potato Wedges
It all starts with 5 -6 small sweet potatoes or 2 – 3 larger ones. Organic is preferable, but any will do as they are all delicious!
Once sweet potatoes are prepped and cut, place them on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and toss to coat.
Arrange them in a single layer, sprinkle with spices/herbs of choice and they’re ready for baking.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25 – 30 minutes.
When done, the sweet potatoes will be fork-tender. You may get caramelization, and you may not.
If you prefer a little more browning, either cook for another 5 – 10 minutes or place the sweet potatoes under the broiler for a few minutes (just be sure to watch them so they don’t burn).
I must say, either with or without caramelization, they are delicious!
Once cooled a bit, serve with garlicky aioli and a sprinkle of chopped parsley. It is a heavenly combination!
How To Store
These are best straight from the oven, but cooled isn’t so bad either. If you have leftovers, they’ll still be good the next day and will last for 4 – 5 days in the refrigerator. Reheat the oven to 350 degrees for 10 – 15 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
We love to pair ours with garlicky Vegan Ailoi or Sriracha Cream Sauce.

PrintBaked Sweet Potato Wedges
Healthy baked sweet potato wedges make for a delicious snack or side. Pairs perfectly with aioli!
- Prep Time: 10 min
- Cook Time: 30 min
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: Serves 2 – 3 1x
- Category: Side, Snack
- Method: Bake
- Cuisine: American, Vegan
Ingredients
- 5 – 6 small or 2 – 3 large sweet potatoes
- 1 – 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon mineral salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder or thyme, optional (onion or garlic powder would be great too)
To serve
- Garlic Aioli
- chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. Alternately, grease a baking sheet lightly with oil.
Prep: Wash and pat dry the sweet potatoes. Remove any unsightly spots. Cut potatoes lengthwise into quarters, and cut those as needed, preferably no larger than 1 inch thick.
Arrange: Place on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil and give a good toss. Arrange potatoes in a single layer, sprinkle with salt and optional spice/herb of choice (I used a light dusting of chipotle powder).
Bake: Place baking sheet in the oven, on the middle rack, and bake for 25 – 30 minutes, turning once or twice. Remove from oven, let cook a few minutes.
Serve: These are best straight from the oven, but cooled isn’t so bad either. If you have leftovers, they’ll still be good the next day.
Pair them with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and garlic aioli. For variation try this Sriracha Cream Sauce (Aioli) – it’s delicious!
Store: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
The skin is highly nutritious, but feel free to peel your potatoes before cutting if you prefer.
Baking time is approximate, depending how thick you cut your sweet potato wedges. For best results, try to cut the wedges uniformly, this will help them to cook more evenly.
For more caramelization, once sweet potatoes are done, place under the broiler for a few minutes. Just be sure to watch them so they don’t burn.
Spices are kept to a minimum here, just adding enough for light flavor. The aioli will add plenty of extra flavor!
