Thyme-y Sweet Potato Wedges

Today i've this exceptional craving for some sweet potatoes. I remember i came across a lot of sweet potatoes bake recipes given /avail over the internet,so instead of tryin out any of the recipes i decided to experiment it with fresh thyme leaves. I'm currently in this phase of experimenting with fresh herbs so i thought why not make use of the packet of thyme leaves i bought previously. Wht i like bout thyme leaves is that it has it pungent minty with a hint of light-lemon aroma to it.

INGREDIENTS
* sweet potatoes
* thyme leaves
* salt
* brown sugar
* olive oil
* cayenne pepper powder
* coarse black pepper

Method:
1) Wash the sweet potatoes and cut it into wedges. I used a tablespoon to the scrap the skin instead of a peeler.
2) Combine the olive oil, cayenne pepper powder , salt, pepper, sugar and fresh thyme leaves together.
3) Pour the olive mixture to the potato wedges and coat it evenly.
4) Transfers the wedges to a bakeware and bake each side for bout 30mins in a preheated 200 degrees C oven or until tender and golden brown . The size of wedges will affect the cooking time need for the potatoes.
5) When its done, you can serve this as an appetiser or as a side dish.

I personally love the combination of spices on the potatoes! The thyme leaves give an excellent flavour and aroma to the wedges. I ate it plain like that for its already so good to eat it on its on. No dips needed.
