Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium russet potatoes
Seasonings and Flavorings
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup plant-based parmesan (plant-based)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into approximately eight even wedges to promote even cooking with crispy exteriors and tender insides.
- Season the Wedges: Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and toss gently to coat each piece. Sprinkle garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the wedges. Add the plant-based parmesan (plant-based) and toss again to distribute all the flavors uniformly.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased tray. Ensure the wedges are spaced apart for proper air circulation to achieve crispiness.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the wedges for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through baking to ensure even golden crust and crispy texture on all sides.
- Serve Hot and Enjoy: After baking, allow the wedges to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or an extra sprinkle of plant-based parmesan (plant-based) for enhanced flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Slice potato wedges evenly to ensure consistent cooking and crispiness.
- Soak cut wedges in cold water for 20 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch and boost crispiness.
- Bake at high heat (425°F / 220°C) to develop golden, crunchy edges while keeping the interior soft.
- Flip the wedges halfway through baking for even browning.
- Use parchment paper on baking sheet to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
