Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lb, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch wedges, skins on)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or kosher salt, to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (full-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional garnish)
  • Extra lime wedges (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. Scrub sweet potatoes and pat dry. Cut each into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
  4. Place wedges in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil and toss to coat.
  5. Sprinkle in cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using). Toss until evenly coated.
  6. Spread wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut sides down, leaving space between each wedge.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip each wedge with a spatula or tongs. Bake another 15–20 minutes, until golden and crispy on the edges.
  8. While wedges bake, mix mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, sriracha, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust sriracha to taste.
  9. Test a wedge for crispness; bake another 5 minutes if needed.
  10. Remove wedges from oven, sprinkle with extra salt or chopped herbs if desired. Serve hot with sriracha mayo dip and lime wedges.

Notes

For extra crispiness, use cornstarch and avoid overcrowding the pan. Flip wedges halfway through baking. Garnish with fresh herbs and lime for added flavor. Wedges are best served hot but can be reheated in the oven. For vegan, use plant-based mayo and coconut yogurt. Air fryer method: cook at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway.
