Whether you’ve adopted a low-sugar lifestyle or just want to save your sweet-tooth fix for Thanksgiving dessert, these sweet potato wedges are the perfect swap for the traditional sweet potato casserole that’s loaded with brown sugar and marshmallows. The maple in this recipe still imparts just the right amount of sweetness without feeling like an overindulgence. Plus, the dish isn’t so unmistakably festive that you couldn’t recycle it as a side dish for other dinners throughout the year. Delicious and reusable? Can it get any better?
