Description
Delicious roasted garlic sweet potato wedges served with a creamy roasted garlic mayonnaise sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoon oil plus more for the garlic
- flaky sea salt to taste
- 1 head garlic
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Rinse the sweet potatoes and cut each one in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise into four wedges. Soak the wedges in cold water for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Place them in a resealable bag with cornstarch, seal, and shake to coat.
- Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to the bag. Seal and shake again to distribute the seasoning.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Remove the loose skin from the garlic, slice off the top, drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, and wrap in foil.
- Place the foil-wrapped garlic in the oven while it preheats. Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
- Bake the wedges for 15 minutes. Turn each piece and continue baking for another 15 minutes until browned and tender. Keep the garlic in the oven during baking.
- After baking, switch off the oven and leave the wedges inside for 10 minutes for additional crisping.
- Unwrap the garlic, let it cool, then squeeze the softened cloves into a bowl. Mash with mayonnaise and lemon juice, adjusting the garlic to taste.
- Remove wedges from the oven, season with flaky sea salt, and serve immediately with the roasted garlic mayonnaise.
Notes
- The soaking step helps to create crispier wedges.
- Adjust the amount of roasted garlic in the sauce according to your preference.
- Best served immediately for maximum crispness.
