After reading how good sweet potatoes are for us, I set out to find a fast, easy recipe that was also delicious. My sister and I developed this tasty side dish. The cayenne pepper can be increased to taste. I have found these wedges are even better reheated the next day, so make a bunch!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • cooking spray

  • 4 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 dash cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

  2. Place potatoes into a bowl and drizzle with oil.

  3. Mix brown sugar, cumin, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl with a fork. Sprinkle mixture over potatoes to coat. Lay out wedges on the prepared baking sheet.

You can use vegetable oil instead of olive oil, if preferred.
