Macadamia Free Paleo Smoky Paprika Sweet Potato Wedges

These sweet potato wedges hit every note you want from a roasted side dish — caramelized edges, smoky depth, and just enough heat to keep things interesting. Smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne coat every surface of the skin-on wedges before they go into a blazing 425°F oven, and the result is something that tastes far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. Positioning the wedges cut-side down and flipping halfway through is the move that gives you that deep, almost charred caramelization without any fuss. Avocado oil handles the high heat beautifully and keeps everything firmly within paleo territory, no questionable additives or seed oils in sight. Snack-heavy recipes and party appetizers can be a minefield when you're avoiding tree nuts, since macadamia nuts have a way of sneaking into paleo-branded sauces and coatings — but every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. A scatter of fresh flat-leaf parsley at the end adds a bright, herby finish that makes the whole platter look like it came from a restaurant. Serve them immediately while the edges are still crisp and watch them disappear.
