These sweet potato wedges use peri peri spice blend, originating from African cuisine, which combines heat with aromatic spices to create a bold, flavourful coating. However, it’s the cornstarch that makes them crispy. This is a delightful snack, which also provides nutrition as sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins B and C.
