Turmeric Free Paleo Smoky Paprika Sweet Potato Wedges

Sweet potatoes roasted at high heat until their edges go deeply caramelized and their centers turn silky soft — this is the kind of side dish that disappears before anything else on the table. Smoked paprika does the heavy lifting here, lending a rich, almost barbecue-like depth that pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of the potato. Garlic powder and onion powder round out the seasoning, while a pinch of cayenne gives the option to add a gentle kick if you're into that. Avocado oil helps everything crisp up and caramelize properly in a hot oven, keeping the whole recipe clean and grain-free without any compromise on flavor. Many spice blends and seasoning mixes sneak in turmeric as a filler or color booster, so building your own blend from scratch — like this recipe does — means you stay in full control of every ingredient. The technique of roasting cut-side down, then flipping to hit both flat surfaces, is what gets you those gorgeous caramelized edges rather than a steamed, soggy wedge. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end brightens the whole platter and makes it look like something you'd order at a restaurant.
