One sweet potato cut into wedges and roasted with olive oil, cinnamon, and a touch of paprika until tender and browned.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato (about 8 oz)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp paprika optional but suggested
  • ⅛ tsp kosher salt
  • ⅛ tsp coarse black pepper

Directions

  • Set a rack in the middle of the oven and heat it to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Scrub and dry the sweet potato. Peel it or leave the skin on. Cut it in half lengthwise, then cut each half into wedges.
  • Put the wedges on the baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with the cinnamon, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper, and toss to coat.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the wedges with a spatula and bake for 5 to 10 minutes more, until tender and browned at the edges.
  • Serve hot. For extra browning, broil them for 1 to 2 minutes at the end.
