What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Cheerful Choices: Sweet Potato Wedges! Mention the word sweet potato french fries and watch everyone’s eyes glaze over. Just the thought of a crispy outer skin surrounding a fluffy center sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Add homemade ketchup or sriracha mayo for dipping. Ahhh. Suddenly it’s a meal in itself……unless family members think you should share. Better make more.
SWEET POTATO WEDGES
Ingredients:
2 sweet potatoes, skin on and cut into wedges
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons agave nectar
Green onion, snipped, for garnish
Instructions:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine sweet potato wedges and olive oil. Toss to coat. Cover. Microwave on HIGH for 6 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife, tossing and replacing lid after 3 minutes. Allow to cool 10 minutes. Add chili powder, coarse sea salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat. Preheat grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with olive oil. Place sweet potato wedges on oiled grill pan. Cook 3 minutes per side until charred and tender. Remove from heat. Drizzle with agave nectar. Garnish with green onion snips. Serve immediately.

That’s a good idea. Even in a marriage, I like some foods and my husband does not. Timing is everything. 💕🍃

Right? It’s almost as though I need to be reminded about them. Could it be because they are sold individually? 🤔
