Spiced Sweet Potato Wedges with Sriracha Aioli

Yield: 4-6 servings/ Prep: 20 min/ Cook: 30 min

 

For the wedges:

2 pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed and washed

¼ cup olive oil

½ Tbsp Smoked Chili Powder

1 Tbsp lime juice + the zest of 1 lime

1 tsp Bourbon Smoked Salt

 

For the aioli:

¾ cup mayonnaise

2 Tbsp sriracha hot sauce, or to taste

½ lime, juiced

pinch Bourbon Smoked Salt and Pepper

 

Method

1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut into 4 wedges. If wedges are very long, cut them in half crosswise as well. They should all be a similar length and size.

2 In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked chili powder, lime juice, zest and smoked salt. Add the wedges and toss to coat. Place on the baking sheets in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes. Remove, flip the wedges and bake for another 10 minutes. Flip the wedges one more time and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until they are tender, crisp and caramelized.

3 While wedges are baking, make the aioli. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients and whisk well. Cool wedges for 5 minutes before serving with aioli.
