Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the sweet potatoes: Scrub the sweet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Dry them with a towel, then cut them into wedges. Aim for uniform size for even cooking.

      Make the marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until combined.

        Coat the wedges: Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl with the marinade. Toss well to ensure each wedge is evenly coated with the mixture.

          Arrange on the baking sheet: Spread the sweet potato wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding for crispiness.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

              Garnish and serve: Once cooked, remove the wedges from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of extra lemon zest if desired. Serve warm.
