Ingredients

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