Recipe by Hunter Lewis A quick two-step process of microwave-steaming then roasting creates golden-brown sweet potato wedges that make for a versatile side dish or snack. (Cost for 4: $2.46)

Ingredients

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), each halved lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • Cooking spray

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • Dash of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place a large baking sheet in oven. Preheat oven to 450 ° (do not remove pan from oven).
