Ingredients

2 Sweet Potatoes medium sized
2 tablespoons Potato Starch
1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika
1 Lime Zest
1 Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Salt + extra for sprinkling later
4 tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 220 C/430 F. Place a baking rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
Snip off the ends of each sweet potato (leaving the skin on), and then cut them into half lengthwise. Cut each half into two more parts lengthwise, and then further into two more till you have eight long wedges. Cut each long wedge in the middle to make 16 wedges from each sweet potato. (Scroll up to see step by step pictures to cut sweet potato into wedges).
Toss the sweet potatoes well in potato starch till the wedges are coated evenly. Then sprinkle paprika, lime zest, lime juice, salt and olive oil over the wedges and use your hands to toss the wedges in the seasoning.
Arrange them on the baking rack and bake for 35 minutes. Turn on the broiler (or the top element of the oven) for the last five minutes to get them extra crispy. Sprinkle them with some flaky sea salt and serve immediately.

Notes

Sweet potato skin: Feel free to peel the sweet potato if you don't like the skin
The baking rack thats placed on the baking sheet keeps the wedges from getting soggy and bakes them evenly
Oven temperatures vary slightly so you may have to reduce or increase the bake time by five minutes
