I made these sweet potato wedges a few times already and they were a success every time! Sweet potatoes are known to be a very healthy vegetable so why not add them to your diet? They have the same amount of carbohydrates as normal potatoes but more other nutritional benefits. I did some research and found that they contain a lot of fiber, vitamins and minerals.
Let's get to the recipe!
- Take the desired amount of sweet potato (I used half of a big potato for one generous serving)
- I like to leave the skin on because it gets very crispy and most of the nutrients are just under the skin. If you choose to leave it on like me, you have to give the potato a good scrub and rinse to take off all the dirt. You can also peel it if you want ;)
- Cut the potato into wedges (or something that looks like it, I'm not very precise). Just make sure the pieces are roughly the same size!
- Season the wedges: I used a tablespoon of paprika, half a tablespoon of cajun spice and a sprinkle of salt. You can use any seasoning you like!
- Drizzle with some olive oil. I don't measure this but I think it's about 1 tablespoon.
- Mix the wedges, seasoning and oil until every piece is coated evenly.
- Put them on a lined baking sheet, in one single layer, and bake at 200°C for 20-30 minutes. Flip them half way.
- Check if they are cooked (soft all the way through) and dig in!
