Cheesy Sweetie Potato Wedges

Servings: 4

This makes a great after-school snack. Prepare the sweet potato the night before; let it cool completely and refrigerate it for the next day.

Ingredients

1 sweet potato (about 1lb/450 g)
¼ cup (50 mL) shredded low-fat Swiss cheese (17 g)
2 tbsp (30 mL) grated low-fat cheddar cheese (10 g)

Quick Salsa
1 cup (250 mL) cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 cup (250 mL) diced zucchini (78 g)
½ cup (125 mL) frozen corn, thawed (75 g)
1 green onion, finely chopped (15 g = ¼ cup)
1 tbsp (15 mL) lime juice or white wine vinegar
1 tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil

Method:

  1. Scrub and pat potato dry; prick all over with fork. Microwave on paper towel on high until tender, about 5 minutes. (Or you can bake in 400°F/200°C oven, about 1 hour.) Let cool enough to handle.
  2. Cut in half crosswise; cut into wedges. Arrange on plate. Sprinkle with cheese. Microwave on high until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
  3. Quick Salsa: Meanwhile, cook zucchini and corn in microwave until tender, about 2 minutes on high. Transfer to big bowl. Add tomatoes, zucchini, green onion, lime juice and olive oil; stir to combine.
  4. Spoon salsa over cheesy sweetie potato wedges.
