The kids have just walked in the door after school and are STAAAAAARRVING, or perhaps it's Saturday afternoon and everyone in the family is feeling a bit peckish. Well here is a super easy snack that everyone is going to love (plus it's really good for you - BONUS!).
Indigenous South Americans have been using sweet potatoes in healing medicine for over 5000 years, mainly because they contain more Vitamin A than any other food!
What's so darn awesome about Vitamin A? Check out these benefits:
Healthy vision, neurological function, healthy clear skin, builds strong bones, regulates genes, supports immune function and naturally slows ageing.
They also contain potassium, vitamin C and vitamin B6 and are used to help in the treatment of cancer, diabetes, and inflammatory-based conditions like heart disease.
Did I mention they're also Gluten-free? An amazing little package of goodness from mother-nature to Reboot & Re-Energise your whole family!
Ingredients
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
sprig of rosemary (optional but recommended)
4 medium potatoes
4 medium sweet potatoes
olive oil
Method
Preheat your oven to 200˚C.
Rinse the potatoes to get rid of any excess dirt but keep the peel on.
Cut the potatoes long ways into 1 inch thick wedges.
Place in a bowl, add a good lug of olive oil, a few grinds of salt & pepper & the rosemary leaves & toss together so all the wedges are coated.
Transfer to a roasting tray & spread out in one layer.
Cook in the hot oven for 15 minutes, toss & roast for another 15 minutes until golden, crisp and cooked through.
Delicious served just a snack or as a side with any protein.
