# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They crisp up beautifully without any frying, so you get that satisfying crunch without the mess or extra oil.
  • The yogurt dip is tangy and creamy enough that it almost feels indulgent, but youre really just eating vegetables and dairy.
  • You can prep everything in under ten minutes, then let the oven do all the work while you clean up or sit down.
02 -
  • Dont skip the parchment paper, I tried using foil once and half the wedges stuck so badly I had to scrape them off.
  • If your sweet potatoes are different sizes, cut the bigger wedges a little thinner so everything finishes at the same time.
  • Let the dip sit for at least five minutes before serving, the garlic mellows out and the flavors blend together much better.
03 -
  • Use a kitchen scale if you have one to make sure your wedges are roughly the same weight, it sounds fussy but it really does help them cook evenly.
  • If you want them extra crispy, let the tray heat up in the oven for a few minutes before you add the wedges, the hot surface gives them a head start on browning.
