Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Oil
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1/3 cup plant-based parmesan (finely grated)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (natural)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (natural)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Variations
- Pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes (for spicy kick)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme (chopped, for herb boost)
- Zest of 1 lemon (for citrus twist)
- Substitute plant-based parmesan with 1/3 cup nutritional yeast (plant-based)
- Plant-based ranch or garlic aioli dip (natural) for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes clean under running water. Cut each potato into evenly sized wedges to ensure they bake thoroughly and crisp evenly.
- Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, place the potato wedges and drizzle with olive oil (natural). Toss to coat well. Sprinkle with garlic powder (natural), plant-based parmesan, paprika (natural), dried oregano (natural), salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly so each wedge is well coated with the seasoning blend.
- Arrange for Baking: Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly oil the surface. Spread the wedges out in a single layer without overlapping to allow air circulation for crispiness.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the wedges for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through to brown all sides evenly. The wedges should be crunchy on the outside and tender inside with vibrant garlic parmesan flavor.
Notes
- Use russet potatoes for their starchy texture that crisps well.
- Cut potato wedges evenly for consistent baking.
- Coat thoroughly in oil and seasoning for maximum flavor.
- Flip wedges midway to promote even crispiness.
- Bake at a high temperature for best results.
- Serve immediately to enjoy optimal crunch and flavor.
