Crinkle Cut Sweet Potatoes
What it is
These are fresh sweet potatoes that have been pre-cut into crinkle shapes. The crinkle cut creates more surface area, which can lead to crispier edges when cooked. Sweet potatoes are root vegetables known for their naturally sweet flavor and vibrant orange flesh. They are a versatile ingredient, offering a unique taste and texture to many dishes.
