INGREDIENT NOTES:

Sweet Potatoes:

• The sweet potatoes should be firm, medium-sized, and have smooth skin. Wash and core not necessary to peel, unless desired.

Olive Oil:

• Assists in enhancing the wedges to become crispy and transport the spices. As a substitute, use avocado oil.

Garlic:

• Garlic powder can be used in an emergency, but the freshest chopped garlic will add the most taste.

Chili Flakes:

• Accommodate your spice tolerance. If you want a smokier taste, then you may use chipotle powder.

Smoked Paprika & Cumin:

• Add coziness & richness of the earth. These are not to be missed- they finish off the flavor very nicely.

Lemon Juice:

• A final splash of lightning up the dish and equalizing the spiciness.

Fresh Herbs (Optional):

• Parsley/cilantro provides freshness and colour. Omit when a more primitive wedge is desired.

TIPS:

• To ensure equal frying, cut the wedges into equal pieces.
• Don’t fill the tray too full; if necessary, use two trays.
• Soak wedges in water for half an hour, then air them out before adding salt for added crispiness.
• Stir in a single tablespoon of flour with the ginger mixture for a crispy finish.
• Serve with avocado salsa for dipping, peanut sauce, or vegan garlic aioli.
• Before baking, sprinkle lactic acid on top for a cheesy, wonderful touch.
• For edges that are crispy and have more fiber, leave the skin on; give it a thorough scrape.
• When you cook this, you must let it rest for at least 5 minutes for the taste.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

• Store in an unopened container for at least three days. Warm up in a conventional oven or using an air fryer to restore the crispness.

FREEZER:

• Transfer the wedges to a zip-top freezer bag after first freezing them in a single layer. Just rewarm without thawing in the microwave or air fryer till hot and crisp. Good for a limit of two months.

FAQs:

Can they be made oil-free?

• Sure, a little splash of lemon juice or vegetable broth will do the trick to make the spices adhere.

Can white potatoes be used in their place?

• Yes, russet potatoes or Yukon gold would be good with the seasoning, too.

Are they hot?

• The heat depends on your control of the chili flakes. To tone down, delete, or lessen the following.

Can these be air-dried rather than baked?

• Absolutely. Air fry at 400°F (200 °C) 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
