- Brown sugar,
- Cinnamon,
- A Little salt and pepper.
- Wash your sweet potatoes but don’t peel them.
- Cut them all into wedges and place 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 cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle half of this over the wedges.
- Bake at 425, stirring them and sprinkling them with the remaining topping halfway through, until they are fork tender, about 30 minutes.

how long do you bake them before you sprinkle the rest of the seasoning?
Halfway through so fifteen minutes 🙂
Thank you
Oh, thank you Christy for this recipe! My Mom used to fix these when I was a little girl and I never knew just how she did them, but this recipe is “right on”. I am 73 and I’ve had to wait many years for the recipe! LOL! Thank you again for sharing and God Bless you and yours.
Oh my goodness, how wonderful to have found a favorite from your past. I hope you enjoy the potatoes and all the memories that come with them!!
You are making my mouth water ! I love all your recipes.
🙂 Thank you so much Barb, I hope you are finding new favorites and I appreciate your continued support!!
What is the reason for not peeling the sweet potatoes? Will the skins be as soft as the rest of the wedges once roasted?
They add a lot of flavor and vitamins. They get a little toasty just like when you don’t peel russets and roast them. 🙂
Do you have nutrition info? These were excellent by the way.
NOTHING ON EARTH (made from sweet potatoes) tastes as good as these. 🙂
🙂 You have good taste Wren!!
