Tips and Tricks
Choosing the Right Potatoes
For the best results, choose firm, medium-sized sweet potatoes. Softer, older potatoes can become too mushy when baked, so go for ones that are fresh and smooth to the touch.
Cutting Evenly
Cut the sweet potatoes into equal-sized wedges to ensure they cook evenly. If some pieces are larger than others, the smaller ones might burn while the larger ones stay undercooked.
Using Parchment Paper
For easy cleanup and to prevent the wedges from sticking, line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This will also help them crisp up better.
Spacing on the Baking Sheet
Spread the sweet potato wedges in a single layer with space between each piece. Overcrowding the pan will cause the wedges to steam instead of getting crispy.
Adding Extra Flavor
If you want to change up the seasoning, try adding garlic powder, rosemary, or cumin to the olive oil mixture. This adds even more depth to the flavor of the wedges without extra effort.

How to Store and Reheat
Storing
Store leftover sweet potato wedges in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure they are fully cooled before storing to avoid condensation.
Reheating
To reheat, place the wedges on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes. This will help them regain their crispiness. You can also reheat them in an air fryer for a few minutes to get them crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wedges soggy.
Freezing
These wedges can be frozen in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat from frozen in the oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes until crispy.
