For extra crispiness, ensure sweet potato wedges are spread in a single layer without overcrowding the pan.
2
Caramelize onions: While sweet potatoes roast, thinly slice white and red onions. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 40-50 minutes until deeply golden brown and sweet. During the last 10 minutes, add sugar and white wine/vinegar to enhance caramelization and deglaze the pan.
