Crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned, these baked sweet potatoes are so easy to make! Perfect as a side, for anytime snacking, and as a fuss-free appetizer!
Thickly slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise. 2.2 lbs / 1 kg Sweet Potatoes
Put the sliced sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
Add the olive oil, salt, paprika, dried oregano, and thyme and mix well.3-4 Tbsp Olive oil, 1.5 tsp Paprika or Degi Mirch powder, 1.5 tsp Dried Thyme, 1 tsp Oregano, Salt to taste
Spread out evenly on a baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes at 220 C / 425 F , turning the wedges every 10 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned.
I like to put them under the broiler for the last 4-5 minutes to make them extra crispy and blistered.
Serve warm or at room temperature with any sauce of your choice. Enjoy!!

Notes
Cut thin for crispy, oven-baked sweet potato fries. Slice thick for chunky wedges. Both are delicious, just different personalities. You can also cut them into rounds.
Try to cut the sweet potatoes evenly. This will help in even cooking.
Give each fry space. Crowding or piling the tray means steaming, not crisping. Spread them in a single layer for golden glory.
When they’re nicely browned, switch on the broiler for the last 4–5 minutes. It’ll blister the slices, making them extra crispy.
Reheat the fries in the oven, air fryer, or skillet. The microwave will make them soggy.
