• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Hot Honey Drizzle

• 3 tbsp (45 ml) honey
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

How to Make Crispy Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges

1. Prepare the Oven

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Season the Sweet Potatoes

Place the sweet potato wedges in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Toss well until the wedges are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

3. Arrange the Wedges

Spread the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.

Place them cut-side down where possible to encourage better browning.

4. Roast Until Crispy

Roast for 30–40 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through, until they are golden and crisp around the edges and tender in the centre.

5. Make the Hot Honey

While the sweet potatoes roast, combine the honey, red pepper flakes, fresh lemon juice, and sea salt in a small saucepan.

Warm gently over low heat for 1–2 minutes, then remove from the heat.

6. Add the Feta

Transfer the hot roasted sweet potato wedges to a serving platter. Scatter the crumbled feta generously over the top.

7. Drizzle with Hot Honey

Drizzle the warm hot honey over the crispy sweet potato wedges and feta, allowing the sweet and spicy glaze to coat the top.

8. Garnish & Serve

Finish with fresh parsley and mint if using. Serve immediately with lemon wedges while the sweet potatoes are hot and crisp.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These sweet potato wedges are simple to make but full of contrasting flavours. The roasted sweet potatoes become tender inside with golden edges, while the feta adds a creamy, salty finish.

The hot honey brings sweetness and gentle heat, and fresh herbs and lemon add a bright finishing touch. It’s an easy combination that works beautifully as a side dish, appetiser, or casual sharing plate.

Tips for Crispy Sweet Potato Wedges

• Don’t overcrowd the tray: Leave space between the wedges so they roast properly.
• Use cut-side down: Positioning the wedges this way helps create deeper golden browning.
• Turn halfway through: This helps the wedges cook and brown more evenly.
• Add the feta after roasting: This keeps the feta fresh and creamy rather than overly melted.
• Serve immediately: The wedges are at their crispiest straight from the oven.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these crispy sweet potato wedges as a side dish alongside a main meal or place them in the centre of the table as a sharing appetiser.

They are especially good served warm with plenty of feta, hot honey, fresh herbs, and lemon wedges on the side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the hot honey less spicy?

Yes. Simply reduce the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your preference.

When should I add the feta?

Add the feta after the sweet potato wedges have finished roasting. This keeps the cheese creamy and fresh on top of the hot wedges.

Can I skip the mint?

Yes. Fresh mint is optional, while the parsley provides the main herbal garnish.

How should I serve the wedges?

Serve them immediately while they are hot and crisp, with the feta and hot honey already added.
