Baked Sweet Potato Wedges

It's been a while since I last did any baking, in fact, my oven acted up a bit when I was doing this. Anyway, this is my 1st attempt of making: BAKED SWEET POTATO WEDGES.

I baked this on 6th Jan. I used a small amount of sweet potato (oh well, it's my first attempt, thought better not risk wasting too much if it goes wrong!) and baked it for Ben's afternoon snacks.

PREPARATION TIME: ABOUT HALF AN HOUR

* Less than 5 minutes to peel and cut sweet potato into thin slices
* 5 minutes to pre-heat the oven
* 15 minutes for baking process

Ingredients / Tool Required:

* Sweet potato (amount/quantity up to you)
* Peeler, knife and chopping board
* A baking pan to hold the sweet potato (I used my 8 inch square pan)
* A teaspoon of olive oil

What to Do?

* Wash the sweet potato, peel and slice them into thin wedges.
* Place the sweet potato wedges into the baking pan.
* Toss with a teaspoon of olive oil.

BAKING PROCESS

* Pre-heat oven at 200℃ (about 5 minutes)
* Place wire rack tray into oven.
* Set oven to 200℃ and bake for 15 minutes
* Baked until brown and crisp

THE RESULTS

So there you go.... my 1st BAKED SWEET POTATO WEDGES attempt! Overall, I'm happy with this attempt - I'm happy to see Ben keep coming back for more (he actually said 'more! more!') To view my other recipes, feel free to hop over to my Recipe Library page for more info!

Sliding on his own!

While I was in the bookstore at a family outing recently, hubby and our niece, Bonnie accompanied Ben to play in this small indoor playground (less than 1 minute from the bookstore) and hubby called me up and asked me to hurry over to the playground. It seems that our little baby is now sliding on his own! He no longers need to hold daddy's or mummy's hand while sliding down... Our baby is growing up!!

One minute he's learning to sit on his own...

(Ben at 6 months old - 1st time learning to sit)

And we have to hold Ben whenever he wants to play the slides...

(Ben at 14 months old sliding down with daddy holding onto him...)

And the next minute we see him sitting and sliding on his own!

Yes, it may be a short and small slide, but it's still a big milestone for him (and us!).

My baby boy is growing up! (He's 22 months old today btw!)
