Tandoori Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges With Raita – Vegan

Average Rating: 5 | Rated By: 2 users

Tandoori roasted sweet potato wedges with raita are beyond addicting. They are roasted with Indian spices, so there is plenty of flavours are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. You have probably guessed by now that these sweet potato wedges are easy and as an added bonus healthy. Serving the wedges with raita takes them from simple to amazing. Raita is an Indian side dish of yogurt containing chopped cucumber, mint or cilantro and spices. The cooling savoury yogurt is just what these tandoori sweet potato wedges need. I find that baked sweet potatoes have a lot more flavour than fried, plus you don’t have that extra unwanted oil. I am so excited to share this simple, delicious recipe with you, especially this time of year because finger food is very popular during football season and baseball playoffs. Best part, they are eaten with your hands, so no extra dishes just plenty of napkins. This is my favourite roasted sweet potato recipe!
