Oil-free, Crispy Sweet Potato Wedges (Vegan, Gluten-free)

This is one of my latest, favourite recipes. I've been trying an oil-free version for potato wedges for a while now. Then I thought I give it a go with kumara (sweet potato) instead. The advantage is that kumara doesn't need precooking or steaming.

Cuisine American
Servings 6 portions

Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium sized kumara (6 pieces = approx. 600g)
  • 1 tablespoon gluten-free bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or ordinary paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Give the kumara a good scrub and dab them dry with a clean dish towel.
  • Make sure you have the spices and seasoning at hand before you cut the kumara into wedges. The thinner they are, the crispier they will get.
  • Chuck the wedges into a medium sized pot, sprinkle with spices and seasoning. Put lid on top and give it a very good shake until the wedges are nicely covered with seasoning.
  • Line baking tray with baking paper and place wedges on it.
  • Bake for approx. 10 before flipping them over. Then bake for another 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

Enjoy! :)
