Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 ° C and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.

FOR SWEET POTATOES:

  1. In the bottom of a salad bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic and paprika. Add the sweet potato wedges and mix well until well coated with the seasoning. Salt.
  2. Place the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sweet potatoes are ready when they are golden and crisp on the surface and soft on the inside.

FOR THE THAI PEANUT BUTTER SAUCE:

  1. In a bowl, whisk all the ingredients, then add the water gradually, continuing to whisk, until the desired texture is obtained, creamy but not too thick nor too liquid. Refrigerate until ready to use.
