Looking for a tasty side dish for your next BBQ? These sweet potato wedges will do the trick.
The sweet potato is par-boiled first, and finished on the BBQ for that lovely smoky, charred taste.
Get creative with the flavours you add. Some of our favourites include cinnamon (yes cinnamon and sweet potato work perfectly together), za'atar, piri piri, sweet chilli, and garlic butter - so many choices!
Make sure you soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 5 minutes before putting them onto the BBQ, otherwise they might burn!
