How to Make Sweet Potato Wedges

The best way to make sweet potato wedges is to have the oven pre-heated and ready to roast when the wedges are popped in!

  1. Clean and rinse sweet potatoes and peel (optional). Cut into uniform 1” wedges or bigger.
  2. Place potatoes in a bowl and toss with oil, seasoning salt, and pepper.
  3. Put potatoes flat side down on a baking sheet sprayed with pan release.
  4. Bake until tender, about 35 to 40 minutes.

Serve with aioli or chipotle aioli.

Tips for Success

  • Cut sweet potato wedges in even quarters so they roast evenly.
  • Peeling the skins off is totally optional, but leaving the skins on gives the potatoes a crispy texture, a more rustic appearance, and more nutritious fiber!
  • Space potatoes so they roast evenly. This allows the air to circulate around them and they will get crispy as they roast! Yum!

I love yellow squash in this recipe but you can use zucchini, patty pans, and even crookneck squash if they’re still popping up in your supermarket. An Easy Side Dish This recipe brings out the very best flavors with just a few ingredients and even fewer steps! Squash takes just minutes to roast and has great flavor. The simple crispy coating clings to each piece adding flavor and crunch! Ingredients or Variations SQUASH Naturally, summer squash is the star here (zucchini or pattypan work great in this recipe too).

Fennel Is, Without a Doubt, Our Favorite Spring Herb

Image
Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which we break down our favorite unique seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more.   This week we’ve got fronds on the brain—fennel fronds, that is. You can find fresh fennel year round, but it really peaks during spring. Once you get your hands on fennel, you’ll probably be taken by the pleasant, anise-like aroma and then immediately think to yourself: “Okay…but what do I do with this?” Because as cool as fennel is to look at, and as lovely as it smells, it’s not the most common herb to cook with. Adding crushed fennel seeds to meatballs? Duh! But roasted fresh fennel wedges as part of a weeknight meal? Can’t say that’s exactly in my repertoire.    So if you want to start cooking with fennel, we’ll go over what to look for when selecting fennel, how to store it, and how to use every part of the plant from bulb to stalk to fronds—and more! Licorice haters fear not, there might be hope for you and fennel after all.   What to Look For First things
