Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place an oven rack on the baking sheet and set aside.
Using a sharp knife, cut the potato lengthwise into 8 wedges, and then, if you prefer smaller potatoes, you can cut those wedges in half, crosswise.
Arrange the sweet potato wedges on top of the oven rack and set aside.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper; mix to combine. Brush the seasoned oil mixture over the potato wedges.
Roast the sweet potatoes for 18 minutes. Turn on the broiler and bake for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until they're browned and crispy. Keep an eye on them because it's easy to burn when the broiler is on.
Remove from oven and taste for salt; adjust accordingly.
Serve.
Air Fryer Method:
Preheat the Air Fryer to 400˚F.
Place seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket - do not crowd the basket; cook in batches.
Cook the sweet potatoes for 10 minutes; turn the potato wedges over and continue to cook for 10 more minutes. Serve.
Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with different spices and seasonings to tailor the flavor to your liking.
Consistent Sizes: For evenly cooked, crispy wedges, ensure each piece is cut to a similar size. Uniform wedges guarantee consistent cooking and a uniformly crisp and tender result.
Use a Rack: Place an oven-safe rack over the baking sheet and arrange the sweet potato wedges on the rack. This ensures air circulation for an all-around crispy texture.
Sweet Version: Make these sweet potatoes even sweeter with a spritz of coconut oil, cinnamon, and sugar, and serve them as a snack or dessert.
Storage: Store cooled wedges in airtight containers and keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze them for up to a month.
