Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs Japanese purple sweet potatoes (about 3 medium)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch wedges, then toss them in a large bowl with the oil and salt.
  2. Spread the wedges in a single layer on the sheet. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping once, until deeply golden on the edges and fork-tender.
  3. Pile the wedges onto a platter and serve hot, with a little flaky salt on top if you like.

Notes

These are best right out of the oven. If your wedges wind up thicker than an inch, just add a few extra minutes of roasting time.
