1/2tspmixed herbs/basil/oregano/rosemary - pick your fave!
2tbspsunflower oil
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 180oC (fan).
Slice the sweet potatoes into wedges >You don't need to peel the potatoes first. They'll hold together better with the skin on.>The wedges need to be roughly the same size so they cook evenly. >HOW TO CUT WEDGES: I find the best way to do this is to cut the potato in half. Take one half, place it flat side down on your shopping board. Cut 3 or 4 segments (depending how big your sweet potato is) like a terrys chocolate orange! By that, I mean all of the cuts should meet at the core of the potato to create segments, rather than chips!I found this helpful picture on google to show you what I mean:
Place the wedges in a large bowl.
Add all of the seasonings and oil and mix together until the potatoes are thoroughly coated.
Place the wedges on a baking tray >Ideally spread apart, so they are not touching - this will ensure they cook evenly and crisp up nicely!>I've used tin foil to help with the cleaning afterwards but thats optional!
Bake for 10 mins.
Bacon time!!!
Remove the baking tray from the oven.
Take 1 of the wedges and wrap it up in 1 piece of bacon. >I recommend spiralling the bacon around the wedge, as tightly as possible.
Repeat for the rest of the wedges
Place them back on the baking tray, ideally spaced out again, and into the oven for 30-40mins, or until the bacon is starting to go brown and crispy!>You may want to turn the wedges after 20 mins, to ensure the bacon goes crispy all the way around>If you do have wedges that are a little smaller than the rest, they may need removing from the oven 5 mins before the rest! Overcooked sweet potato goes a little black isnt so great!!>Top tip: if you have a cooking rack, place the wedges onto a cooling rack, on the baking tray. This will help the bacon crips up all the way around, without the need for turning!
