How to Make Baked Sweet Potato And Chile Wedges

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Wash and cut 2 large sweet potatoes into 1-inch thick wedges.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  3. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on two 13x9x2-inch disposable foil pans.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 3 teaspoons chili powder, and 1 tablespoon honey. Set aside.
  5. Bake the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, then brush generously with the orange juice mixture. Shake the pans gently.
  6. Continue baking for another 5-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized, brushing with the glaze once more and shaking pans occasionally.
  7. While the potatoes bake, prepare the sour cream dip: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Mix well.
  8. Once the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl.
  9. Serve immediately with the cilantro sour cream dip and the remaining orange juice mixture for dipping.
  10. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
