Skip the greasy fries and enjoy these scrumptious baked Sweet Potato Wedges with Honey Lime Dip!
My love of sweet potatoes goes all the way back to when I was just a babe. I highly preferred the mashed up orange vegetables over pureed peas so I developed hypercarotenemia. Yep! My skin turned so orange I could have been a pumpkin for my first Halloween. It’s not dangerous or anything… just tacky looking and a good indicator that one should add some variety to one’s diet.
Well, 20+ years later, I still lean toward the orange veggies, especially sweet potatoes. How could anyone pass up Sweet Potato Casserole, Sweet Potato Tots, and these!?!
After making these delicious sweet potato wedges, I might experience another case of hypercarotenemia just in time for the 31st! Seriously, so addicting!!! I think I ate two sweet potatoes’ worth in one day.
You are going to love the spicy seasoning with the sweetness of the potato. And then there’s the refreshing dip that is made with Greek yogurt. Go right ahead and dunk away with this high protein, low-fat dip. No guilt eating these tasty and healthy sweet potato wedges!
