What if I don't have garlic-infused olive oil for these wedges?

You can use regular olive oil and add 1-2 minced garlic cloves to the spice mixture, ensuring the sweet potatoes are well coated before baking.

Can I adjust the spice level of these sweet potato wedges?

Absolutely! For less heat, simply reduce the amount of chili powder, or for more spice, increase it to your personal preference.

How do I know when the sweet potato wedges are perfectly cooked?

The wedges are ready when they appear golden brown on the outside and are soft enough to easily pierce with a fork after baking for 40 minutes and flipping.

Should I peel the sweet potatoes before making these wedges?

No, the recipe specifically instructs to wash the sweet potatoes and slice them with the skin on, which adds texture and nutrients to the finished dish.

How should I store leftover Spicy Sweet Potato Wedges?

Store any cooled leftover wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer for best results.

How to Prepare Spicy Sweet Potato Wedges [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Wash the sweet potatoes and slice them in thick and even wedges (skin on).
In a big bowl add the oil, salt and the mix of spices.
Add the sweet potatoes and toss together until all sides are evenly coated.
Place the wedges onto a baking tray (make sure you arrange them in a single layer).
Bake the wedges for 40 minutes, until they are golden brown and soft. Flip them over during cooking to make sure that they are evenly cooked.

Notes

If you are buying garlic infused oil, make sure that there aren't floating bits of garlic in it. You can also easily make your own garlic infused-oil by frying garlic cloves in oil, when they are golden and soft you need to remove them from the oil and continue cooking your meal.
