We really enjoy these at our house, If you like sweet potatoes , this is a new way to fix them, they are like spicey steak fries oven baked, the orignial recipe makes 2 pans 13x9, unless familys over for dinner I make them for just Hubby and me as a side ,I fix 2 potatoes, just cut back on salt and pepper. This is also a good finger food .

How To Make spicy baked sweet potatoe wedges

Step 1

Heat Oven to 400f- cover bottoms and sides of pans with foil and spray with cooking spray , Peel Potatoes and cut into wedges 1 inch thick ( I prick my potatoes a few times with point of knife, wrap in waxed paper and put in the microwave for 3 or 4 minutes for 2 potatoes, the skin will slide off and much easier to slice, ,be careful don't cook them all the way ) pour oil in a baggie, put potatoe wedges in the baggie with the oil, close baggie and toss the potatoes in the oil,

Step 2

Take potatoes out of oil and lay on pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, put in oven.cook uncovered
Step 3

As soon as you get potatoes in the oven, make the basting sauce, baste potatoes with sauce , 3 times and shake pan occ. Bake Potatoes 25 to 30 minutes till tender
Step 4

To Make Basting Sauce - In a Bowl, put Orange Juice,Honey and Chili Powder, Mix well
Step 5
