Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Wedges with Herbed Yogurt Dip

Golden and crisp on the outside, tender and sweet inside—these sweet potato wedges are seasoned with smoky spices and paired with a refreshing cilantro-lime yogurt dip for a balanced and vibrant snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sweet potato wedges with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are crisp and centers are tender.
  4. While the wedges bake, prepare the dip: In a blender or food processor, combine yogurt, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Transfer sweet potato wedges to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped herbs.
  6. Serve hot with the herbed yogurt dip on the side.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak sweet potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking and dry thoroughly.
  • Use dairy-free yogurt to make the dip vegan-friendly.
  • Add a pinch of chili flakes to the dip for a spicy kick.
