I am enjoying finding sides, we seem to always do
the same sides a lot so finding new ones have been
fun for me since I will be trying them myself.
This recipe serves 8.
Ingredients; Sweet Potato Wedges:
2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut lengthwise into wedges
1-2T corn starch
2T evoo
Seasoning:
2tsp paprika
2tsp garlic powder
1/2tsp onion powder
1/4tsp cayenne pepper
1/2tsp red chili powder (optional)
2tsp dried thyme
sea salt to taste (after baking)
Avocado Garlic Aioli:
1 large avocado
2T mayo
1 minced clove of garlic
2tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
sea salt to taste
Instructions; Sweet potato wedges....
Arrange oven racks to the upper level of your oven.
Place sweet potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water.
Allowing them to soak for 1 hour.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Lightly grease 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
Place baking sheets into the oven to preheat.
Drain wedges and pat dry with paper towels to get as much
moisture off as you can.
Spoon corn starch into a large zip lock bag, add the wedges;
seal the bag with air in it and shake to evenly coat.
Using tongs, transfer coated wedges into a large bowl, shaking
off the excess starch. Drizzle wedges with oil and seasonings,
do not add the salt. Toss well to coat.
Carefully remove pre heated oven trays from the oven and
arrange wedges in a single layer with plenty of space between them.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove trays from the oven and test
wedges with a fork. If they are just tender; flip them into
a single layer again with plenty of space. Return to the
oven and bake for 5-10 more minutes until crisp.
Turn the oven off and leave the door ajar allowing the
wedges to dry out slightly and crisp up in the oven for
about 5 minutes extra.
How to make the Aioli:
Combine avocado, mayo, garlic and lemon juice in a magic bullet,
or blender. Blend for 20 seconds or until smooth and creamy.
Scrape the sides with a spoon and blend for another 10 seconds.
Now you can season your potatoes and dip
with salt if desired.
