2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch thick wedges.

1 tsp Smoked Paprika (adds a necessary smoky depth for burgers)

½ tsp Salt and ¼ tsp Black Pepper

Optional Heat: A pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to balance the sweetness

2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Coat: In a large bowl, toss the wedges with the oil and the pre-mixed seasoning blend until every surface is evenly coated.

3. Arrange: Place the wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; if they touch too much, they will steam instead of crisping.

4. Bake: Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through.

5. Finish: They are done when the outsides are slightly browned and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork.

The Smoked Paprika is the secret ingredient here; it bridges the gap between the dessert-like cinnamon and the savory burger patty. For an even tighter pairing, you can serve these with a small side of honey-mustard or chipotle mayo for dipping.

Pro Tip: For extra crispiness, soak the cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat them completely dry before tossing with oil and spices.
