Spicy Baked Sweet Potato Wedges

Happy Mother’s Day!

My mom’s funny. She has nine children but hates celebrating mother’s day for herself. She refuses to let us cook for her or give her gifts, instead she cooks for us… and we give her gifts anyway.

Mother’s are selfless, they don’t like to be spoiled, but sometimes they really need spoiling.

If I had children though, I’d certainly let them cook me dinner, at least as long as they were making spicy baked sweet potato wedges. And I wouldn’t have to feel guilty because these babies are quick and easy peasy to make. After tossing them in some olive oil, you just sprinkle on some seasonings – a little garlic, salt, and chili powder – and bake them up for about 20 minutes. Bingo! Amazing sweet potato fries straight from the oven – no frier needed.

Annnnnnd while we are on the subject of mother’s day…

You should hop over to my instagram account for some VERY exciting news. 😉

What people are saying about these Spicy Baked Sweet Potato Wedges

“These sweet potato wedges were so great. I had bought a couple of sweet potatoes on a whim and needed to find a recipe for them and I found this recipe on Pinterest. So glad I pinned it because these were some of the best potato wedges I’ve ever had. My husband isn’t really a big fan of sweet potatoes unless they are covered in marshmallows (which defeats the purpose of eating them) but he really enjoyed eating these. The dipping sauce was a great addition to the wedges as well.” – Shicka
