The sweet potato wedges

A super healthy and easy alternative to fried chips; although taste-wise, sweet potatoes and potatoes have nothing in common.

Ingredients

1. Sweet Potatoes, peeled (the quantity is up to you)

2. Olive oil

3. Salt, pepper

4. Paprika

5. Garlic powder

6. Dried oregano or thyme

Procedure

Pre-heat the over at 200°C.

Cut the sweet potatoes in wedges and put them in a mixing bowl. Add some olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and oregano. Stir together so the sweet potatoes are equally seasoned and oiled.

Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on an over tray or a baking sheet. Bake potatoes at 200° for about 30 minutes – basically, they should be soft and lightly brown. Turn the wedges after the first 15 minutes.

Eat immediately, don’t wait up!
