Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scrub the sweet potatoes clean and cut them into evenly sized wedges.
- Place the wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the top.
- Toss the sweet potato wedges to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Notes
