Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for some heat)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

For the Ranch Dip:

1 cup sour cream

½ cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse the sweet potatoes under cold water, scrubbing them well to remove any dirt. Cut each sweet potato into wedges that are roughly 1-inch thick, striking a balance between tenderness and a satisfying crunch.

    Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper. Toss everything together until the wedges are thoroughly coated in the seasoning, ensuring each piece is evenly flavored.

      Bake the Wedges: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer, making sure they aren’t crowded. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through the baking time, carefully flip the wedges to ensure they become golden brown and crispy on all sides while remaining tender on the inside.

        Prepare the Ranch Dip: While the sweet potato wedges are baking, prepare the ranch dip. In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh dill, onion powder, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Stir until the mixture is well-combined and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste.

          Serve: Once the wedges are baked and slightly cooled, transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve the warm sweet potato wedges alongside the creamy ranch dip for a delightful dipping experience.
