Looking for an alternative to regular potato fries? Discover these salty-sweet thyme baked sweet potato wedges. Full of flavour, and super easy to pull off. And of course so good for you! A great dish to bring to a BBQ or cook out. Vegan and gluten free.

Ingredients
 

  • 3 sweet potatoes, medium, washed and dried
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 7 stems thyme, fresh, washed and dried

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450°F
  • Scrub, wash and peel the potatoes and slice into 1-inch thick wedges
  • In large baking tray, combine the potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Use your hands to coat the wedges
  • Place on top rack of oven and roast until cooked and slightly browned, about 30 minutes
  • Garnished with thyme stems
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce

Notes

  • Always preheat your oven before baking - to save time!
  • Make sure to cut the sweet potatoes into even sized wedges - so they cook evenly
  • For this recipe, I opted to use fresh thyme, however, dried thyme would work just as well.
  • You can also experiment with different herbs and spices, choose your favorites!
  • Make sure to space the fries out in an even layer on the baking tray so they cook evenly and you get a nice crispy coating - on all of them!
  • Leftover fries can be stored in the fridge in a suitable container and eaten cold or reheated in the oven
