- Thoroughly wash and scrub 2 large sweet potatoes.

- Lightly spray a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer in the prepared baking pan.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of melted margarine or butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
- Brush the mixture evenly over the sweet potato wedges, ensuring all pieces are coated.

- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
