Xanthan Gum Free Paleo Smoky Paprika Sweet Potato Wedges

Sweet potatoes and smoked paprika were basically made for each other, and roasting them at high heat turns that combination into something genuinely crave-worthy. The wedges come out with deeply caramelized edges, a tender interior, and a smoky, garlicky crust that makes it hard to stop at just one. Avocado oil helps everything crisp up beautifully without any processed additives, and the spice blend — smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a hit of cayenne if you like heat — does all the heavy lifting on flavor. Every single ingredient here is a whole food, so there are no hidden thickeners or stabilizers to worry about, which is exactly what you want when you're keeping things clean. The technique matters too: arranging the wedges cut-side down on a parchment-lined sheet and flipping halfway through gives you maximum caramelization on both flat sides. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a little brightness and color, though the wedges are honestly stunning on their own. These work as a crowd-pleasing side, a snack straight off the pan, or the kind of thing you make once and immediately add to the regular rotation.
