Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large starchy potatoes (e.g., russet or Yukon gold), washed and cut into wedges
Seasoning Mix
- 3 tbsp olive oil (natural)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (natural), plus extra for serving
- 1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
- 1 tsp dried oregano (natural)
- 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Start by washing your potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into wedge shapes, roughly equal in size to ensure even cooking. No need to peel unless you prefer a smoother texture.
- Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, combine olive oil (natural), lemon juice (natural), garlic powder (natural), dried oregano (natural), black pepper, sea salt, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Toss the potato wedges in this mixture until each piece is well coated.
- Prepare for Baking: Lay the seasoned wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, making sure they do not overlap. This step is crucial to help the wedges get crispy rather than soggy.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the wedges in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 35-40 minutes. Flip them halfway through the baking time to allow for even browning and crunch on all sides.
- Final Touch and Serve: Once golden and crispy, remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Optionally squeeze a little more fresh lemon juice (natural) on top before serving for an extra zing.
Notes
- Pat dry the potatoes before seasoning to help achieve extra crispiness.
- Do not crowd the pan; space between wedges allows hot air circulation for even crisping.
- Bake at high temperature to ensure a golden crust and soft inside.
- Use a natural gelling agent dissolved in the seasoning oil if you desire added crunchiness.
- Flip wedges halfway through baking for uniform crispiness and oven-roasted flavor.
