  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for added heat
For the Hot Honey Yogurt Dip:

  • 2 tablespoons honey pure and runny for easy mixing
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce choose your favorite brand or style
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice about half a lemon
  • fresh herbs for garnish such as parsley, cilantro, or chives - optional

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Sharp knife
  • Small bowl
  • Spatula or tongs
  • Juicer or citrus squeezer

Method
 

Sweet Potato Wedges with Hot Honey Yogurt Made Stepwise
  1. Wash and scrub your sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each large sweet potato into 8-10 wedges, aiming for similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Place the wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss until every wedge is evenly coated with the spices and oil.
  3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lay the wedges out in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they aren’t overcrowded. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are crispy and wedges are tender inside.
  4. While the wedges are baking, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, hot sauce, and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the honey or hot sauce to your liking.
  5. Once the wedges are done, transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired, and serve alongside the hot honey yogurt dip for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow air circulation around wedges.
  • Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
  • Store leftover wedges in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to restore crispness.
