Baked Sweet Potato Wedges


Recently, My mum and I went to a farm to pick out vegetables on our own with a family friend. One of the items we (well mainly my mum, I just stayed in the car for this one..Sorry Mum!) picked out some sweet potatoes. I love potatoes, mashed potatoes with gravy, potato fries, potato chips but I've always been hesitant to eat sweet potatoes. You could say I'm a little picky with my food but the name just didn't sound right. Potatoes that are sweet? And they're orange? Hmmm... The only time I would actually eat them is when my mum bakes it into wedges. I absolutely love this as a snack and I wanted to share it!

You will need:

As many sweet potatoes you'd like

Sea Salt (It makes it taste better)

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

A tray and an oven

Directions: 
1) Soak your sweet potatoes in water if they still have dirt on them 
2)Scrub them until they're clean if you are going to eat with the skin (your fingernails might get dirty)
3)Cut them into decent sized wedges 
4)Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 
5)Place the sweet potatoes onto tray 
6)Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle sea salt over it
7)Put in the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes
8)Serve!

And there you have it! The best thing about this snack is, you can eat it when it is warm or cold! They taste good either way and it is also healthy for you. Consume in moderation and Enjoy! 

Lots of love,
