Sweet potato wedges with paprika are a fun side or tasty snack in front of the TV! All the indulgence of fries, but a little lighter I think. Perfectly cooked with the best gooey insides and crispy skins!

Looking for another cooking method? Have a peek at my air fried sweet potato wedges too!

Pair these potato wedges with my honey chicken burger or my rosemary chicken fillets. Both would go perfectly with fries!

Or if you fancy another savoury snack, check out my sweet potato nachos - perfect for a movie night dinner!

These wedges use sweet paprika rather than regular or smoked paprika for its softer, and slightly sweet taste. Makes a lovely change in flavours! Pair with my tasty carrot beet ketchup or my paprika dip for some tasty snacks made at home!

⭐ Why you'll love this recipe

  • Fun comfort food - these are indulgent and so moreish but a little lighter than take-out fries!
  • A change from regular fries - using sweet potato makes a nice change from white potatoes, and the flavour is so good.
  • Easy to make - a super simple recipe with just a few steps.

💭 What is sweet paprika?

Most of us are well-versed with hot and smoked paprika, but perhaps aren't so familiar with sweet paprika. It doesn't have the same spicy 'kick' as hot paprika, but I think its milder sweetness works wonderfully on potato wedges and many other dishes.

🍠 Ingredients

individually labelled sweet potatoes, olive oil, sweet paprika and cinnamon.

All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.

You only need five ingredients for this recipe:

  • Sweet potato - choose as fresh as you can without skin that is too wrinkly.
  • Sweet paprika - the main flavour, it adds a nice sweet taste. The Szeged sweet paprika is good.
  • Cinnamon - optional but gives a hint of spice.
  • Olive oil - to coat the sweet potato to bake.
  • Salt - to season.

🔪 Step by step instructions

Just a few simple steps to make this sweet potato wedges side dish:

uncooked sweet potato wedges on a baking tray.

Step 1

Once the oven is at temperature, place the sweet potato wedges on a lined baking tray. Drizzle over the olive oil and then season with the sweet paprika, cinnamon (if using) and salt. Spread into an even layer and bake for 25-40 minutes. Cook time will vary slightly depending upon how big the wedges are.

Step 2

Serve as a side (or maybe just on their own!) and enjoy!

💭 Recipe tips and notes

  • The bake-time will depend on the chunkiness of the wedges, so I would suggest checking on them after 25-30 minutes and adding more time if necessary.
  • Adjust the amount of spice to taste preference.

🍽 How to serve

I think serving fries (or wedges in this case!) with dip is always fun, and perfect for game day or casual celebrations with friends and family. Some ideas:

Spicy zucchini baba ganoush

Whipped ricotta dip

Beetroot hummus

Cottage cheese dill dip

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Place the wedges on the baking tray and drizzle olive oil over the potatoes. Sprinkle over the sweet paprika, cinnamon and pink Himalayan salt. Give them a good shake so the potatoes are all covered. Spread out on the baking tray in a single layer.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • The bake-time will depend on the chunkiness of the wedges, so I would suggest checking on them after 25-30 minutes and adding more time if necessary.

Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
