These crispy sweet potato wedges come out Cajun spicy and sweet. Don’t tell anyone but they’re also really healthy. They’re loaded with antioxidants and phytonutrients and are a great source of beta-carotene. Another plus? As complex carbs, they digest slowly and raise blood sugars gradually — keeping you from a spike and drop-off.
Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes, cut into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, oil and Cajun seasoning. Mix well to evenly coat wedges.
- Spread the wedges in a single layer on one (or two, if needed) ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until crispy and brown on one side.
- Flip fries over and bake for another 30 minutes or until the wedges are crispy on the outside and tender inside.
