Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potato Wedges:

2 large sweet potatoes, washed and cut into even wedges

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika for added flavor

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

For the Creamy Ranch Dip:

1/2 cup thick Greek yogurt

1/2 cup creamy mayonnaise

1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure an easy cleanup after baking.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the sweet potato wedges. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle over the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Using your hands or a spatula, toss the wedges thoroughly until all are uniformly coated with the seasoning.

      Bake the Wedges: Arrange the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they have space between them to allow for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to promote even browning. They should emerge golden brown and crispy on the outside.

        Make the Ranch Dip: While the sweet potatoes bake, prepare the creamy ranch dip. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, fresh dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to your liking. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator until the sweet potatoes are ready to serve.

          Serve and Enjoy: Once the sweet potato wedges are out of the oven, allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a serving platter, generously sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color, and serve warm alongside the creamy ranch dip for dipping.
