Storing Sweet Potato Wedges
Though these wedges are best enjoyed immediately, if you find that you have leftovers, they can be stored for another day.
Prepare the wedges and allow the leftovers to cool completely.
Then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To enjoy, reheat in the air fryer for around 5 minutes at 180˚C/350˚F.
They can also be reheated in the oven, at 190˚C / 375˚F for around 10 to 15 minutes until heated through.
Variations
Depending on the seasonings that you choose, these crispy snacks can be made gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and more.
- For spicy chips, try sprinkling with a small amount of red pepper flakes, chilli powder or cayenne powder
- Use a combination of salt and sweet smoked paprika for a delicious paprika chips
- Try using a BBQ seasoning, garlic or herb seasoning
- Sprinkle the chips with cinnamon sugar or nutmeg for a sweet chip
- For a cheesy flavour, try sprinkling with finely shredded Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast or a vegan alternative
- A tsp of finely chopped fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme or parsley sprinkled over the chips for the last few minutes of cooking make for a lovely batch of herby flavoured chips
- Dip the chips into Nutella or a creamy dip such as ranch, garlic pesto or garlic aioli
- I prefer to use Himalayan Pink Salt or Celtic Salt, though you can use any salt that you choose
- Any cooking oil that you normally use would work – etc. olive oil, avocado oil
- Try using regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes
- If you prefer, bake in the oven for 25 – 30 minutes, turning over half way through
- The skin can be removed from the sweet potatoes if you desire
Seasoned Sweet Potato Wedges Notes
- If you find that your chips are soggy, there are a few reasons for this. You may have overcrowded the air fryer basket or oven tray.
- Another reason is that they haven’t been cooked long enough.
- If they are browning, the temperature may have been to high.
- For even cooking, try to cut the wedges as uniform in size as possible.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket either, as this doesn’t allow the air to circulate properly and the wedges won’t be cooked evenly either.
- Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste.
- To prevent sticking, make sure the wedges are coated with the oil before baking. Also, lightly oiling the basket before cooking may help.
