How to Make Savory Sweet Potato Wedges

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your fryer.
Peel 2 large sweet potatoes and cut them in half lengthwise.
Cut each half into 1-inch thick wedges.
Soak the wedges in cold water for 30 minutes (optional, helps remove excess starch for crispier results).
Drain the wedges and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels.
**For Baking:** Toss sweet potato wedges with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown.
**For Frying:** Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry sweet potato wedges in batches for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked sweet potato wedges with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Gently toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
