Chipotle Sweet Potato Wedges
- 3 large sweet potatoes or jewel yams, about ¾ pound each, peeled
- 1 tablespoon macadamia nut oil or canola oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon packed dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon chipotle powder, or to taste
- Place the rack in the uppermost position and preheat oven to 425° F.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, and chipotle powder. Blend well with a wire whisk or fork.
- Quarter the potatoes lengthwise and then cut each quarter lengthwise into 2 or 3 wedges about ¹/3 inch thick at the widest point.
- Place on a nonstick rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss to coat. Spread the wedges out in single layer, flat side down. Sprinkle evenly with 1/2 the spice mixture. Turn so that the other flat side is down and sprinkle with the remaining spice mixture.
- Roast 30 to 40 minutes, turning once or twice, until the wedges are cooked through and lightly browned.
