Useful tips

  • For this recipe choose organic sweet potatoes so you don't have to peel off the skin. Also, look for sweet potatoes with minimal curves which make them easier to cut into wedges.

  • To make sweet potato wedges, cut the potato into half lengthways and then cut each half again and finally cut each piece in half again (you will get 8 wedges from 1 sweet potato). If they are large, cut them in half in the middle to make them smaller.

Seasoning options for sweet potato wedges

These combination of sweet paprika and fresh rosemary leaves are just great but you can play with the flavours. Swap sweet paprika with smoked or hot paprika or make a twist and use ground garlic, ginger or cayenne pepper.

Instead of fresh rosemary, use other fresh or dried herbs like thyme, basil, oregano and others. The combination are endless here!
