Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium Russet potatoes, firm and evenly sized
Seasonings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1/4 cup plant-based parmesan
- 1 teaspoon paprika (natural)
- Salt, to taste (natural)
- Black pepper, to taste (natural)
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into evenly sized wedges, leaving the skin on to add extra crunch and nutrients. This ensures uniform cooking and texture.
- Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, drizzle the potato wedges with olive oil (natural) and toss gently until every piece is coated. Sprinkle garlic powder (natural), plant-based parmesan, paprika (natural), salt, and black pepper evenly over the wedges. Mix well to ensure the seasonings cling to all sides.
- Arrange on Baking Tray: Preheat a baking tray lined with a natural gelling agent or parchment paper by placing it in the oven briefly. Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the preheated tray, spacing them apart to allow air to circulate freely for maximum crispness.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake the wedges at 425°F (220°C) for 30 to 35 minutes. Flip the wedges carefully halfway through baking so both sides develop a golden brown, crispy exterior while maintaining a tender interior. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the baked wedges from the oven and immediately scatter fresh parsley over them while still warm. Serve right away to enjoy the full flavors and crispy textures at their best.
Notes
- Parboil the wedges for a few minutes before baking for a softer interior without losing crispness.
- Use fresh potatoes to avoid mealy texture and excessive oil absorption.
- Cut wedges evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Preheat the baking sheet to help the wedges crisp instantly on contact.
- Do not overcrowd the baking tray; allow space for air circulation.
- Flip wedges carefully halfway through baking for even browning and to maintain shape.
