Organic Sweet Potato Wedges

My son love fries or wedges, so I decided to opt for sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. Though they can both be part of a healthy diet, sweet potatoes are generally healthier than regular potatoes, partly because of their incredibly high vitamin A content. Sweet potatoes are also lower on the glycaemic index, meaning that they are less likely than regular potatoes to make your blood sugar spike. [1]  So let's make this simple, quick, easy and healthy sweet potato wedges.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 medium organic sweet potatoes
• 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon 100% sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon rosemary - finely chopped

Prep Time:  10 mins      COOKING TIME:  20 - 22 mins    Serving:  2

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Wash the sweet potatoes. Peel the skin (Optional: you can leave the skin if desired). Cut the sweet potato quarterly lengthwise, then cut each quarter in half again to make 8 wedges.                                                                                               
   
   
   
2. Next, prepare the rosemary. Scrape the leaves from the stem and cut it finely. 
3. In a bowl, put the sweet potato wedges, rosemary, salt, black ground pepper and extra virgin olive oil. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly.                                        
   
   
   
4. Line the air fryer drawer (or baking tin if you are using oven) with wax paper, then line up the wedges accordingly.                                                                                
   
   
   
5. Put the drawer in the air fryer and turn the temperature to 200c for 20 - 22 mins. Pause the air fryer after 10 mins and turn around the wedges to have an even cook. (When using oven, pre-heat at 200c and bake it for 20-22 mins. Also, turn after 10 mins.) 
6. When cook, place it in serving plate and serve it with tomato ketchup. ENJOY!

TIPS: 

• For a healthy option always use an organic sweet potato to prevent exposure to harmful chemical from pesticides.
• You can adjust salt depending how savoury you want it to be. I recommend to use 100% sea salt for a flavourful wedges.
• Depending on your preference, you can leave the sweet potato skin intact, but make sure you wash it thoroughly before cooking.
