Sweet Potato Wedges
Sweet Potato Wedges – Not Potato Wedges! These Sweet Potato Wedges are Addictively Delicious and You Won’t Be Able to Stop Eating Them!
Main Ingredients- 5 small-sized sweet potatoes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Then, cut them into an enjoyable wedge shape (cut them lengthwise). Try to cut them to a consistent thickness, not too thin, similar to potato wedges, for even cooking.
Step 2
Place the cut sweet potatoes in a pot and boil them. Bring a generous amount of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add 0.3 tsp of salt and cook the sweet potatoes until they are about 80% tender. Be careful not to overcook them, as they might fall apart! Drain them completely in a colander once cooked.
Step 3
Transfer the drained sweet potatoes to a large bowl. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, chili powder, parsley flakes, curry powder, and olive oil. Gently toss everything together until the seasonings are evenly coated on the sweet potato wedges. If children are sensitive to spice, reduce or omit the chili powder. Using enough olive oil or vegetable oil is key to achieving crispy and delicious wedges when baked in the oven.
Step 4
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato wedges on a baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Place them in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes. Oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on the sweet potatoes and check them periodically to ensure they don’t burn. They are ready when they turn golden brown.
Step 5
Voila! Your delicious sweet potato wedges are ready. They offer a unique and delightful sweet and savory flavor profile, quite different from potato wedges. You might wonder ‘What is this?’ at first, but one bite is all it takes to get hooked on their irresistible taste. Kids absolutely love them, and if you’re wondering what to do with leftover sweet potatoes, this is a simple and satisfying snack to make. Give it a try! ^^
