Sweet potato wedges

Recipes

Serves 8 

4 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound each), peeled 

1/3 cup vegetable oil 

1 teaspoon dried rosemary 

1 teaspoon dried sage 

1 teaspoon dried thyme 

1 teaspoon coarse salt 

1/2 teaspoon black pepper 

Cut peeled sweet potatoes into quarters, then slice quarters into wedges (each potato yields about 12 wedges). Soak wedges in cold water, completely submerged, for about one hour. Drain and pat dry. In a large bowl, stir together vegetable oil, dried herbs, salt and pepper, then marinate wedges for 30 minutes. 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

Cover a lipped cookie sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the marinated wedges on it. Bake for 30 minutes.
