Other tips for making Sweet Potato Wedges:
We did some digging for some of the best tips for making sweet potato wedges. We hope these tips help!
- Don't ignore the thinner sweet potatoes. They're still good and cook evenly in the oven.
- Switch it up and make fries instead of wedges. Be sure your cuts are even.
- For crispier wedges, soak cuts of sweet potato in cold water for at least 30 minutes. You can soak them overnight as well. Rinse, drain, and pat down before baking.
- Don't try to stuff a lot of wedges on your sheet pan at once. Stick to cooking one layer of wedges at a time.
- Try a variety of hummus to pair with the sweet potato wedges. You can even make your own hummus if you have time. We found some variety packs of hummus for you to try on Amazon.
