Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 3 medium sweet potatoes cut into 1/2-inch wedges with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
Step 2: Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden and tender.
Step 3: While the wedges bake, whisk 3 tbsp maple syrup with 1 tsp smoked chili powder in a small bowl.
Step 4: Remove wedges from oven and brush generously with the maple-chili glaze. Return to oven for 5 additional minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Step 5: Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm as a flavorful side or snack.
