These spicy sweet potato wedges really hit the spot when you are craving something salty and fried but unlike the French fries at Micky D’s these little nuggets are baked. Not fried….
The spices in this recipe give them a nice warm heat and the coconut yogurt dipping sauce is the perfect compliment.
I think they would make a great addition to these Sheet Pan Boneless Pork Chops with Peaches
Or maybe on this of these Apple and Rosemary Pork Chops
