You can also make sweet potato wedges by cutting a standard-sized orange sweet potato into six or eight pieces. Simply slice the whole potato in half, then cut each half into two equal parts (four pieces total). Slice each of those pieces in half again, so you have eight wedges total.
You may find that your oven is too crowded with all those wedges baking in it at once–if so, use two baking sheets and bake them separately.
Bake them at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or so until they take on some color. Then flip each wedge over with tongs and bake another 15 minutes or until tender all the way through.
