Smokey Sweet Potato Wedges & Vegan Tzatziki

Share it with your friends!

These Smokey Wedges are such a simple and colourful side dish that even comes with a cooling vegan Tzatziki dip.

It can be quite hard to create “crunchy” sweet potato wedges as they often go soggy but below is my trick on how to keep them crunchy.

Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Ingredients for the wedges:

• 2 Sweet potatoes, sliced into wedges
• Smoked paprika
• Olive oil
• Salt

Ingredients for tzatziki:

• 4 heaped tablespoons of natural unsweetened coconut yoghurt such as Coyo
• 1 inch piece of cucumber, finely grated including the juice from it
• 8-10 fresh mint leaves finely chopped
• Juice of 1/2 a lime
• pinch of salt

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 220C with a the baking tray inside
2. Slice the sweet potato into wedges and place onto the baking tray lined with baking paper and place in the oven for 25 mins
3. Meanwhile make the tzatziki by placing all the ingredients into a small mixing bowl and combine until smooth
4. After the 25 mins, remove the wedges from the oven and lightly coat with olive and sprinkle over then smoked paprika (as much as you want) along with a pinch of salt and place back in the oven for 10 mins
5. Simply serve with fresh lime, coriander and the tzatziki

TIP: Cooking the sweet potato at a high heat without olive oil to start helps make the wedges crispy rather than going soggy.

TIP: Ovens vary quite a lot in heat so keep an eye on them so that they don’t “burn”
