Wendy’s New Sweetpotato Side
Have ya’ll heard the news? Wendy’s is offering three new sides on their menu and one of them happens to be a baked sweetpotato! The sweetpotatoes are estimated to run out by mid June so these sweet spuds won’t be around forever. Nevertheless, this is ground breaking for a few reasons:
- Wendy’s is the first fast food chain to carry baked sweetpotatoes
- A fast food chain is attempting to offer ‘real’ food
- Now anyone anywhere can have a baked sweetpotato whenever they please!
The new sweetpotato is served with a side of cinnamon buttery spread but according to the Huffington Post “the sweetpotato is soft, chewy and naturally sweet on its own” so if you’re hitting up Wendy’s for a fast, healthy meal the sweetpotato side is a viable option.
Since sweetpotatoes are so filling, I can see myself making it the star and adding one more menu item to complete my meal. Here are a few ways I would work the sweetpotato into my Wendy’s meal.
- Sweetpotato topped with a side of chili – sweet n’ savory, you know where I’m going with this
- Sweetpotato with a side of spicy chicken nuggets and bbq sauce – have you had sweetpotatoes and bbq sauce? Try it, then let’s talk!
- Apple Pecan Chicken Salad with a sweetpotato on the side – the perfect fall meal!
How do you plan on enjoying the new side?
