        Instructions<\/h3>

        SWEET POTATO WEDGES:<\/h4>
        • Arrange oven racks to the upper level of your oven.<\/div><\/li>
        • Place sweet potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak for just over 1 hour.<\/div><\/li>
        • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 450\u00b0F (230\u00b0C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking oil spray or brushed with oil. Place baking sheets into the oven to preheat.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Drain wedges and pat dry with paper towels as much as you can to get as much moisture out as possible.<\/div><\/li>
        • Spoon corn starch into a large zip-lock (or plastic) bag. Add the wedges; seal the bag with air in it and shake vigorously to evenly coat.<\/div><\/li>
        • Using tongs, transfer coated wedges into a large bowl, shaking off the excess starch. Drizzle wedges with the oil and seasonings (DO NOT ADD SALT). Toss well to evenly coat.<\/div><\/li>
        • Carefully remove preheated oven trays from the oven and arrange wedges in a single layer with plenty of space between them (at least 1\/2-inch or 1cm gaps).<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Bake for 15-20 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 5-10 minutes, until tender-crisp.<\/div><\/li>
        • 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.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

          AVOCADO AIOLI:<\/h4>
          • 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. (Scrape the sides with a spoon and blend for a further 10 seconds if needed). Season with salt to your taste.<\/div><\/li>
          • Sprinkle wedges with a generous amount of salt and serve with Aioli.<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

            Notes<\/h3>
            How to cut wedges: Slice sweet potatoes in half, then halve each half again. Try to keep your wedges the same size and thickness so they cook evenly.<\/span>
            <\/div>\nReally shake off the cornstarch so there is barely a dusting.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1149,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_theme","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[226],"tags":[299],"class_list":["post-1251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipes","tag-recipes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1251"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1251\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3437,"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1251\/revisions\/3437"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
