These chilli lime sweet potato wedges are the best way to stay on track when you want to snack healthy! Crispy edges, soft creamy inside and a definite tasty kick from the chilli lime seasoning, these wedges will guaranteed disappear in minutes. Use this recipe for potato wedges as a base, and add any seasoning you like.
Snacking is top of my list when it comes to eating. And I believe snacking shouldn’t be boring. Which is why these addictive chilli lime sweet potato wedges fit right in. They are crispy, oven baked to perfection and have a fantastic balance of sweet, spicy and tart.
The only drawback is how fast they finish and how often you’ll have to make them! But this recipe beats a pack of chips hands down.
The first step to making these is to cut your sweet potato into wedges. I like to keep the skin on because it has so much fiber that it’ll be a shame to throw it away. And because it crisps up in the oven and the seasoning really clings to it. If you are not a fan, feel free to peel it before you cut your sweet potato.
Ingredients
2 Sweet Potatoes medium sized
2 tablespoons Potato Starch
1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika
1 Lime Zest
1 Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Salt + extra for sprinkling later
4 tablespoons Olive Oil
Method
* Pre-heat the oven to 220 C/430 F. Place a baking rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
* Snip off the ends of each sweet potato (leaving the skin on), and then cut them into half lengthwise.
* Cut each half into two more parts lengthwise, and then further into two more till you have eight long wedges.
* Cut each long wedge in the middle to make 16 wedges from each sweet potato.
* Toss the sweet potatoes well in potato starch till the wedges are coated evenly.
* Then sprinkle paprika, lime zest, lime juice, salt and olive oil over the wedges and use your hands to toss the wedges in the seasoning.
* Arrange them on the baking rack and bake for 35 minutes.
* Turn on the broiler (or the top element of the oven) for the last five minutes to get them extra crispy.
* Sprinkle them with some flaky sea salt and serve immediately.
