Recipe FAQ
- → What is the best way to achieve crispy sweet potato wedges?
To get crispy edges, make sure the wedges are coated evenly with oil and spices and arranged in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding. Roasting at a high temperature helps develop a golden crust.
- → Can I substitute the herbs in the yogurt dip?
Yes, dill can be replaced with cilantro or chives according to your preference, adding different fresh flavor notes to the dip.
- → Is it possible to make the dip dairy-free?
Absolutely. Use a plant-based yogurt alternative to keep the dip creamy while avoiding dairy ingredients.
- → How long should the yogurt dip be chilled before serving?
Chilling the dip for at least 30 minutes allows flavors to meld, enhancing its tangy and herbed profile.
- → Can I prepare the wedges in advance?
You can toss and season the wedges ahead of time, but roasting should be done fresh for best texture and flavor.
