Roasted Honey Chipotle Sweet Potato Wedges

Roasted Honey-Chipotle Sweet Potato Wedges

Roasted sweet potatoes are become ever so delicious and sweet. I chose to spice it up a little using one of our most favorite sweet and spicy flavor combination of honey and chipotle peppers. They're a great option to replace standard potato wedges or french fries as a side for sandwiches, burgers or hot dogs. I'm so glad sweet potato fries are commonly offered on appetizer and side dish menus now, that I've had the sheer joy of introducing them to my own children as a side dish option. To my delight, they liked them so, of course, I had to make them at home, too.

Spicy Sweet Flavors Bring Roasted Honey Chipotle Sweet Potato Wedges to Life

Often sweet potatoes are seasoned with ground cinnamon and sugar, which is another flavor combination that I love. Sometimes, it's nice to broaden the ingredients based on the season. These homemade roasted sweet potato wedges is much lower in fat but packed with flavor. And, sweet potatoes are loaded with fiber and nutrients. My motto is don't tell anyone and no one will ever know. Just knowing that means I can serve this scrumptious and healthy side to my kids without any hesitation.

Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• ¼-1/3 cup honey plus additional for drizzling
• 2 tablespoon orange juice
• 1-2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• ½ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper adjust using more or less to taste
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil and spray each liberally with cooking spray.
• Clean the sweet potatoes, then slice the whole potato into ½ inch slices.
• Cut each slice in half to create the wedge. Place the potato wedges into a large mixing bowl.
• In a small bowl, mix together the honey, orange juice, vegetable oil, dry chipotle pepper, paprika, salt and black pepper.
• Pour over the potato wedges and toss until they're evenly coated.
• Place the wedges cut side down, evenly spaced on the baking sheets. Then place into the preheated oven.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F.
• Turn the wedges, then continue to bake for an additional 20-22 minutes or until crispy and golden.
• Serve hot with a drizzle of honey.

Notes

If you'd like to add more heat, you can increase the ground chipotle pepper to 1 tsp. I would suggest, you make the honey-chipotle coating as is then taste and sprinkle a little more on top if you'd like to add more spice.
