High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges with Garlic & Herbs

Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet without any added syrups, making them one of the easiest whole foods to work with when you're cutting out high fructose corn syrup entirely. The real magic here comes from roasting at high heat — 425°F coaxes out deep caramelization along the cut edges, giving you that sticky, golden crust without a drop of processed sweetener in sight. Coconut oil keeps things rich and helps the garlic, turmeric, and ginger cling to every wedge, while fresh rosemary and thyme bring an herby, almost savory contrast to the potato's natural sweetness. The trick of spacing the wedges out on the pan is worth following closely — it's what separates truly crispy edges from a steamed, soft result. Every ingredient here is clean and whole, so there's no label-reading anxiety, no sneaky syrups hiding in a sauce or glaze. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley and these wedges are vibrant enough to anchor a weeknight dinner or hold their own as a crowd-pleasing side.
