Sweet Potato Wedges

Are you tired of the same old frozen fries? These sweet potato wedges will have your family saying, “When did dad learn to cook like this?” and guests asking, “Where did you buy these?” You will feel empowered knowing that you created such a wonderful and nutritious meal for your family.

This recipe will have you feeling like a 5-star chef in your own home, and you’ll be done in 15 minutes. You don’t have to cut them into wedges either, you can go rounds, large dice, or even fry shape. The addition of rosemary gives them a nice savoury flavour while you also enjoy the sweet flavour. You can also add a pinch of paprika to give them a bit more colour.

To cut the sweet potato into wedges you cut the potato in half, then take each half and cut each half into two halves. So you will be left with eight equal sized wedges. You can also use mini sweet potatoes and just cut them into fours. I like using the minis, it is just easier.

Sweet potatoes are, you guessed it, part of the potato family and is considered a root vegetable. Raw sweet potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, dietary fibre, and beta-carotene. Sweet Potatoes are so versatile that you can even use them in desserts.
