Hello Darlings!
It’s tailgate season! Which usually means lots of incredibly
unhealthy (but delicious) food, cheap beer, and lots of yelling at the
television. And while I can’t help with the yelling at the TV bit, (goodness
knows I do when the Bruins are on) I can help with the first two. Cheap beer?
Try serving a super simple and super tasty Spiced Pomegranate Martini.
Unhealthy food? How about serving up some quick-to-make Autumn Spice Baked
Sweet Potato Fries? You’re satisfied by same starchy goodness that you get from
your typical fry, but with much less oil and a lot more flavor! Your tailgate
buddies will thank you!
Ingredients:
Sweet Potatoes
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Ground Cloves
1 Teaspoon Nutmeg
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 500 degrees.
2. Wash and skin the sweet potatoes. Cut them into
(relatively) uniform wedges. (Note: this is easier said than done as sweet
potatoes are notoriously unpredictable when it comes to size- do your best).
3. In a small bowl mix spices and oil.
4. Working in batches, add sweet potato wedges to the oil/spice
mixture and coat well.
5. Place the spiced wedges in a single layer on a baking
sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Pop in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the
wedges are easily pierced with a fork.
7. Enjoy your fall treat!
