How to Make Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges

Wash your sweet potatoes but don’t peel them.

Cut them all into wedges and place them on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray or lined with parchment paper (this just makes cleanup easier).

Drizzle olive oil over them and toss to coat, then arrange them skin side down.

Stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle half of this over the wedges.

Bake at 425. About halfway through (15 minutes), stir them and sprinkle with the remaining topping. Continue to bake until they are fork-tender (about 30 minutes).
