Ingredients
Scale
2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika to create the glaze.
Place the sweet potato wedges in a large bowl. Pour half of the glaze mixture over the wedges and toss well until all pieces are lightly coated.
Spread the coated sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for maximum crispness.
Roast for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven. Drizzle the remaining half of the glaze over the potatoes. Gently toss the wedges on the pan.
Return to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are caramelized and the potatoes are tender inside.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra crispness, soak the cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them completely.
If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze mixture.
Do not skip the single-layer arrangement on the baking sheet; this allows the hot air to circulate and crisp the potatoes.
