Ingredients

3 large sweet potatoes lightly scrubbed and dried, skin on, cut into wedges
¼ cup avocado or olive oil
2 TBS garlic powder
S & P
2 TBS butter
1 cup honey
2 TBS hot sauce
1 TBS chopped fresh parsley or snipped chives for garnish optional
1 teaspoon spiced sugar (see notes)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the sweet potato wedges in a large bowl with the oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and toss to coat.
Place the sweet potato wedges to the prepared baking sheet. Bake, flipping halfway through, for 35-40 minutes, or until the wedges are golden-brown and crispy.
Mix the honey and hot sauce in a ramekin or small bowl, taste and adjust to your preference.

Notes

Sprinkling a teaspoon or so of my Spiced Sugar (click here) overtop before roasting gives this a lovely spiced flavor and helps it caramelize in spots. You could also just sprinkle some cinnamon sugar overtop.

Nutritional calculation does not include S&P. It DOES include the suggestion of the spiced sugar.
