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!
Oven Roasted Wedges with Sea Salt & Rosemary
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 200ËšC. 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.
