Ingredients

  • 2 -3 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Method

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges. (I peeled mine, but the original directions did not indicate this).
  • Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss potatoes with oil, sugar, chili powder, salt, and ground pepper, until coated.
  • Place sweet potatoes, cut sides down, on baking sheet.
  • Roast potatoes until browned and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with additional salt, if desired, before serving.
