Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds (2 to 3 medium) sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon chili powder

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges; halve long wedges crosswise.

On a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, toss potatoes with oil, sugar, chili powder, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, until coated. Arrange wedges, cut sides down.

Roast potatoes until browned and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with additional salt, if desired, before serving.
