CRISPY CRUSTED SWEET POTATOES

© 2024 Wicked Foods Inc. All rights reserved.

We’ve slathered these golden jewels down with a touch of oil, giving them a bake until soft, then rolling them in a mixture of seasoned protein-packed seeds and searing to crispy perfection. We’ve been using Oatly a lot lately and love its thick texture and rich+creamy flavor. It pairs perfectly with the crunchy outside of these crusted sweet potatoes, and kind of melts into the soft insides, creating the perfect bite that will keep you coming back for more!
