Extra Crispy Sweet Potato Wedges

Ingredients

1. 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled (or unpeeled, if you like skin) and cut into wedges
2. 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3. 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4. 1 teaspoon sugar
5. 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
6. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees (F). Line a large baking sheet with tinfoil (shiny side up); place baking rack onto prepared baking sheet; set aside.
• Peel the sweet potatoes (if preferred) and cut off the pointy ends. Slice the sweet potatoes in half (lengthwise), then cut each piece into wedges.
• Place the sweet potato wedges in a large bowl, then add in the olive oil, salt, sugar, seasoning, and black pepper. Mix well, making sure each wedge is coated with oil and spices.
• Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, then turn on the broiler and bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until they're well browned and crispy. Keep an eye here - it's easy to burn when the broiler is on!
• Cool wedges on pan for 5 minutes, then serve at once!

Notes

• The baking times listed above are approximate; it depends how thick you cut the sweet potato wedges. For best results, try to cut the wedges evenly; this will help them cook at about the same rate.
• Double recipe as needed, but only bake one tray at a time.
