Consisting of just two main ingredients, this sweet potato wedge meal prep recipe is the embodiment of simplicity! Simple, and simply delicious! Just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it lacks nutritional value, though. Did you know that sweet potatoes are loaded with vitamins and minerals? A single sweet potato contains 20,000IU of vitamin A, 4 times your suggested daily value! Vitamin A is an essential nutrient for healthy lungs, heart, and kidneys. The health benefits don’t stop there though, because sweet potatoes also regulate blood sugar levels, aid in weight loss, and enhances brain function too.

The main concept of paleo is that only raw, unprocessed foods should be eaten, which means that it prohibits the consumption of grains, dairy, and beans. Because the sweet potatoes are minimally-processed in this meal prep recipe, they are considered paleo-compliant! Check out more Paleo Recipe HERE

Nutrition Details:

Tahini has a rich history, dating back at least 4000 years! The first recorded mention was found in ancient Egyptian cuneiform texts. The word ‘tahini’ itself comes from the Arabic word ‘tahana’, which means “to grind”. This is presumably because tahini is made entirely of ground sesame seeds. Sesame paste, the base of tahini, is also used in some Japanese, Chinese, and Indian cuisine.
