These savory sweet potatoes are a quick and easy side for any meal. I served them up along my Thanksgivng turkey this year, and they were a big hit! The sweet potatoes wedges are tossed in my special mix of sultry and savory spices, and roasted to a delicious crisp.

I have to mention this major tip I learned only recently because it is incredibly useful: use an actual potato peeler. It works like magic.

I also started leaving the skins on, as long as its a clean organic potato, there really is no need to remove it.

Sweet potatoes are an ultra healthy root vegetable, with a high content in carotenoids (vitamin A), a wealth of antioxidants, and other nutrients that reduce blood sugar levels.

It is mandatory to roast these orange gems on a large flat dish; the more surface area, the better. You will get more of that roasted, browned, and slightly charred flavor. When the potatoes are layered upon each other, you will have less of that desirable crunchy and charred texture and more that is softened. Rest assured, either way it is delicious, but I would say that the crunchy, slightly charred and crispy pieces are everyone’s favorite part!
