So this past weekend my mom was in town and she took me grocery shopping. Our store had Morning Star products on sale (which i dont eat to often because of the price) so my mom told me to grab a few boxes. I saw these corn-dogs and was like "oh my gosh i have to get these." (And yes, i know i feature a lot of processed stuff. But hey, it's a step in the right direction). I usually like to cook things in the oven but i was cooking my "fries" so i just zapped my corn-dog in microwave for 1.5 minutes, drizzled it with honey mustard and dug in. I am personally a fan but if you're not into the fake meats then this obv wouldn't be for you.
Now my french fries on the other hand...
Technically they're baked sweet potato wedges but thats just all semantics right? I can't remember what website i got the recipe off of (i wish i did so i could credit them) but i will try my best to give you guys my recipe (i modified it a bit).
- Pre-heat the oven to 415 degrees F.
- Peel and cut up (however you like it) one sweet potato and throw all the pieces in a bowl
- Throw in around a tbs of whatever oil you have on hand (i've used vegetable, olive and coconut oil. All turn out well but coconut is my favorite) and sprinkle in some salt and pepper to taste (or whatever spices you feel like throwing in).
- Lay them out evenly on a baking sheet and throw it in the oven for 25-30 minutes (depending on your oven and depending on how crispy you want them).
- Every 9-10 minutes turn the pieces over so that they can evenly cook through.
- And voila! Tasty baked sweet potato wedges!
Now i usually like making a green juice for mid day when im home to power me through my evening classes but sometimes you just want some comfort food that is similar to what you used to eat as a kid.
