Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges with Chili

  • 2 to 3 medium sweet potatoes

  • 1/2 tsp coarse salt 

  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Optional:  lime, cut into sections for squeezing over

    1. Preheat oven to 425°. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. In a small bowl, combine the salt, chili and garlic powders, and pepper.  Set aside.
    3. Cut each potato in half widthwise, then cut each half into 8 wedges.
    4. On the prepared pan, toss potatoes with oil, then the spice mixture until coated. Arrange wedges, cut sides down.
    5. Roast potatoes until browned and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with additional salt, if desired, before serving.  They will not be crisp but still yummy!
    6. Serve with lime sections.  Squeeze on the potatoes for a nice tang.
