TO MAKE

​

  1. Scrub the sweet potato clean and slice it into triangular, chunky chips size wedges. Cover with cold water and let sit for at least an hour. The longer the better.                               

  2. Preheat oven to 220C (428F) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.                                                              

  3. Drain and pat dry the sweet potato wedges as much as possible.                                                                                     

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together oil, cornflour, coriander, cayenne, paprika and thyme leaves until smooth. Massage this paste into the sweet potato wedges and then arrange them in one layer on the lined baking tray, skin side down, leaving plenty of space in between the wedges.                                                                                 

  5. Bake for 30 minutes. Carefully, open the oven door briefly to let the steam out. Close the oven door and bake for further 20-30 minutes. Note that the baking time may differ depending on the size of your potato wedges.                                                                                    

  6. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix all black garlic dipping sauce ingredients with a hand whisk until well combined.                                                                                      

  7. Serve straight away.
