recipe: sweet potato wedges 3 ways

01 | Apr | 2015

Who doesn’t enjoy a crispy potato fry?! Easy to make and tasty to boot! Sweet potatoes are packed full of goodness. The orange flesh contains antioxidants and they have a lower glycaemic index than regular white potatoes so they are kinder to your blood sugar levels.

Sweet potatoes are pretty big, so I like to mix it up when roasting them, by adding different coatings. I have been known to easily devour a huge bowl of these for my supper. Gone is the traditional concept of the evening meal, all I need is these babies and a pot of hummus, variety is the spice of life after all.
