Instructions
Sweet Potato Wedges:
-
Arrange oven racks to the upper level of your oven.
-
Place sweet potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak for just over 1 hour.
-
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
-
Lightly grease 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking oil spray or brush with oil. Place baking sheets into the oven to preheat.
-
Drain wedges and pat dry with paper towels as much as you can to get as much moisture out as possible.
-
Spoon corn starch into a large zip-lock bag. Add the wedges; seal the bag with air in it and shake vigorously to evenly coat.
-
Using tongs, transfer coated wedges into a large bowl, shaking off the excess starch. Drizzle wedges with the oil and seasonings. Toss well to evenly coat.
-
Carefully remove the preheated oven trays from the oven and arrange wedges in a single layer with plenty of space between them.
-
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove trays from the oven and test wedges with a fork.
-
If they are just tender; flip them into a single layer again with plenty of space between them. Return wedges to the oven and bake for a further 5 to 10 minutes, until tender-crisp.
-
Turn oven heat off oven and leave oven door ajar allowing the wedges to dry out slightly and crisp up in the oven for about 5 minutes extra before serving. Prepare your Aioli dip.
Avocado Aioli:
-
Combine the avocado, mayonnaise, garlic, and lemon juice in a magic bullet small cup or a small food processor. Blend for 20 seconds or until smooth and creamy.
-
Season with salt to your taste. Sprinkle wedges with a generous amount of salt and serve with Aioli.
