Celery Free Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges with Garlic & Herbs

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 from the platter before anything else does. Coconut oil helps the wedges develop that gorgeous golden crust, while minced garlic, turmeric, ginger, rosemary, and thyme layer on a warmth that feels almost luxurious for something so simple. The trick of roasting cut-side down and giving each wedge its own space on the pan is what separates truly crispy results from a steamy, soft disappointment. Celery and celery seed show up in a surprising number of spice blends and seasoning mixes, so building your own blend from scratch — like this one does — keeps things clean and completely worry-free. Every ingredient here is whole, straightforward, and easy to verify, which makes this a reliable go-to when you need a crowd-pleasing side without any label-reading stress. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley for a little brightness, and serve immediately while the edges are still crackling.
