Sweet Potato Wedges

Sweet potato fries are such a great way to eat your beta-carotene!  I love the beautiful color of sweet potatoes and their flavor made these fries seem more like a dessert.  They were easy to prep and cook, but make sure to keep an eye on them because they do burn more easily than regular potatoes.  As with regular fries, I like to broil them the last few minutes of cooking to get that extra bit of crispiness on the outside.
