Then I peeled it and sliced it into uniform about 1/4th inch slices, and made fry shapes out of 3 peeled carrots. Put in a roasting pan with foil. Don’t forget to line with parchment or foil unless you like doing dishes with lotsa scrapity scrap of food chunks.

I sprinkled about 1 Tbsp Each of Cinnamon & Ground Ginger, couple twists o’ cracky blacky, and then drizzled about 2-3 Tbsp EVOO over the top.

I covered the veggies with another piece of foil across the top and roasted ’em at 400F in the oven for 40 minutes.

Then I uncovered them, flipped em, added a little….and roasted for another 15 mins uncovered.

At this point, if you made a glaze of 2 Tbsp Lime Juice, 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup or Agave, 1 Tsp of Cumin, 1/2 Tsp of Chili Powder or Cayenne you’d have awesome Tex-Mex inspired Sweet Potato Wedges. Let that glaze cook on those taters for the last 10-15 minsand you’re so in. I was feeding these to a husband who isn’t thrilled with Tex-Mex but rock it out in your casa.

Some other eats that were really simple, really awesome. A bed of greens, a few B.S., tomato chunks, carrots, cukes, red & yellow pepps, and dressed with OJ, Agave, and Cracked Black. I love basic, colorful salads with simple sweet dressing. It’s music to my tastebuds. And my tummy.
