This vibrant vegetarian side dish of roasted sweet potato wedges offers a delightful balance of earthy sweetness and bright, citrusy notes. By roasting the wedges at a high temperature, the natural sugars caramelise to create deeply flavoured, crispy edges that contrast beautifully with the soft, fluffy centres. It is a simple yet sophisticated way to elevate the humble sweet potato, making it a perfect accompaniment to burgers, grilled halloumi, or served as a standalone savoury snack.

Quick to prepare and naturally gluten-free, these wedges are served with a creamy lime dip that cuts through the richness of the potatoes. The addition of fresh lime juice and zest provides a sharp, refreshing lift, ensuring every bite is perfectly balanced. Whether you are hosting a casual weekend lunch or looking for a healthy family-friendly side, these homemade wedges are a nutritious and flavour-packed choice.
