Sweet Potato Wedges
This is a delightful side dish for those that love interesting flavors! This dish goes especially well on the side of fish dishes, particularly salmon.
Chef Tips:
- There is no need to peel the sweet potatoes as the skins crisp up beautifully in the hot oven, adding to the texture and overall flavor. However, do scrub them well to remove any dirt.
- If you cannot source store-bought ginger puree, grate around 1-2 thumb-size pieces of fresh root ginger until you yield 1 tablespoon of grated ginger.
