Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large Russet potatoes
Seasonings & Herbs
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (natural)
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (natural)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (natural)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Optional Garnishes
- Fresh chopped parsley or oregano
- Pinch of paprika (natural) for dusting
- Shredded vegan cheese (plant-based) for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Your Potatoes: Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into evenly sized wedges with the skin on to maintain texture and nutrients.
- Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried rosemary, paprika (natural), sea salt, and black pepper. Add fresh lemon juice and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), then toss everything together ensuring all wedges are well coated.
- Arrange for Crispy Baking: Place the seasoned wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure there is space between the wedges to allow air circulation for optimal crispiness.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the wedges in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 35 to 40 minutes. Flip the wedges halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning on all sides.
- Final Touch: When the wedges are golden brown and tender inside, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or oregano and serve immediately while warm and crunchy. Optionally, add shredded vegan cheese (plant-based) on top during the last few minutes of baking for a melty finish.
Notes
- Choose Russet potatoes for the best crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
- Dry potatoes well after washing to prevent sogginess.
- Use plenty of olive oil for even crispiness.
- Bake at high heat (425°F/220°C) for best results.
- Flip wedges halfway through baking for even color and crunch.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container separated with parchment paper to maintain crispness for up to 3 days.
- Freeze cooked wedges in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to one month.
- Reheat in the oven at 400°F for 10-15 minutes to restore crisp texture; avoid microwaving.
- Customize the flavor by adding cayenne pepper, swapping herbs, or using smoked paprika.
