Serves 4 as a side dish


Ingredients


2 large sweet potatoes

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added moisture)

1-2 tablespoons water (as needed for coating)


Instructions


  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.


  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes. Cut them into wedges, about 1-2 cm thick. Try to keep the wedges uniform in size for even cooking.


  3. Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. To help the seasoning stick without oil, add the lemon juice and a tablespoon of water. If needed, add more water a little at a time until the wedges are evenly coated.


  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this will help them become crispy.


  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Flip the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure they cook evenly on both sides. They are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the edges, and tender inside.


  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite vegan dipping sauce or enjoy them as is!
