Sweet Potato Wedges

2 Large sweet potatoes
Cinnamon or cinnamon/sugar – depending on the variety, some are sweeter than others. Many of the local varieties don’t need sugar to sweeten them.
Salt
Olive oil or olive oil spray

Peel sweet potatoes — a vegetable peeler works great.

Slice potatoes into uniform size wedges.

Toss wedges in a little olive oil or spray pan with olive oil spray and lightly spray potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and cinnamon. Depending on the variety, most are sweet enough without adding any sugar.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.
