Spicy Sweet Potato Wedges
Posted on July 8th, 2013
This may be the easiest and tastiest side dish you ever prepare. And the beta carotene pop of orange next to leafy greens or lean protein on your plate packs a healthy punch. Published in 2004 as part of the USDA’s MyPlate initiative to encourage Americans to fill half of their plates with fruits and vegetables for healthier eating, this Cooking Light recipe yields 8 servings (3 wedges each) at 150 calories per serving. And the sweet and spicy combination tastes more like a dessert than a vegetable. We paired it with sesame-seed seared tuna steaks (fresh from Alexander’s seafood market) and our arugula, grape, and sunflower seed salad for a perfectly balanced meal.
