Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potato Wedges:

2 large sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

1 tablespoon cornstarch (for extra crispiness)

For the Ranch Dip:

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

½ cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill

1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges about 1 inch wide, ensuring they are roughly uniform in size for even cooking.

      Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and cornstarch. Toss the sweet potato wedges in the mixture until they are evenly coated.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't overcrowded (use two sheets if necessary).

          Bake the Wedges: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp.

            Make the Ranch Dip: While the sweet potato wedges are baking, prepare the ranch dip. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

              Chill the Dip: Refrigerate the ranch dip for at least 10 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld.

                Serve: Once the sweet potato wedges are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving with the creamy ranch dip.
