Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 russet potatoes
Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced (or 2 teaspoons garlic powder)
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Optional: grated vegan parmesan, Violife brand recommended
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a large baking pan with oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes clean under running water. On a cutting board, slice each potato in half lengthwise. Then cut those halves into thirds or fourths lengthwise at an angle, depending on the potato size, to create wedges.
- Season Potatoes: Place the sliced potato wedges along with olive oil, minced garlic (or garlic powder), onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt into a large resealable bag or a large bowl. Seal the bag and shake well to evenly coat all potato wedges with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer over the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Bake Wedges: Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, flipping the wedges once halfway through baking to achieve a golden and crispy exterior. The wedges are done when they can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Remove wedges from the oven and sprinkle with grated vegan parmesan if desired. Serve hot with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- Using a large resealable bag helps coat the wedges evenly with seasonings and oils.
- If you prefer, you can substitute fresh minced garlic with garlic powder for convenience.
- Flipping the wedges halfway through baking ensures even crispiness on all sides.
- An air fryer can also be used as an alternative method to bake the wedges for a similar crispy result.
- Russet potatoes are preferred for their fluffy interior and crispy exterior when baked.
