Chef's Note
For extra crispy wedges, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before patting dry and seasoning. This removes excess starch and helps them crisp up beautifully. For a dairy-free version, simply omit the Greek yogurt and add an extra squeeze of lime juice to the avocado dip.

Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Wash and scrub 2 medium sweet potatoes, then pat dry with paper towels.
- 3
Cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise into quarters, then slice each quarter into 2-3 wedges, aiming for even thickness.
- 4
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with 2 tablespoons of olive oil until evenly coated.

In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- 6
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled sweet potatoes and toss until evenly coated.
- 7
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap.

Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the wedges and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crisp on the outside, tender on the inside.

While the wedges are baking, prepare the avocado dip by cutting 2 medium avocados in half, removing the pits, and scooping the flesh into a medium bowl.
- 10
Finely dice 2 tablespoons of red onion and 1/2 small jalapeño (seeds removed for less heat).
- 11
Juice 1 lime and finely chop 1/4 cup fresh cilantro.

Add the diced red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander to the avocados.

Once the sweet potato wedges are done, let them cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Serve the warm sweet potato wedges with the avocado dip on the side.
