For optimal results, ensure sweet potato wedges are cut uniformly to guarantee even cooking. While the recipe suggests covering the dish for the majority of the baking time, consider removing the foil for the last 10-15 minutes to allow the glaze to further reduce and caramelize, intensifying its flavor and creating a beautiful sticky finish. A pinch of sea salt added to the glaze can balance the sweetness beautifully. To enhance the aromatic profile, a hint of orange zest or a cinnamon stick added to the glaze while simmering can elevate the dish. Always test for tenderness with a fork; they should be soft but not mushy.
