Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/3 cup plant-based Parmesan (grated)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly and cut each into evenly sized wedges to ensure uniform cooking. Leaving the skins on adds extra texture and nutrients.
- Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss well so each wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Add Plant-Based Parmesan and Herbs: Sprinkle the grated plant-based Parmesan and chopped fresh parsley over the wedges, then gently toss again to ensure the cheese and herbs stick well to every piece for flavorful baking.
- Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the potato wedges out in a single layer without overcrowding to allow proper air circulation and crisping.
- Bake Until Golden and Crispy: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the wedges for 30-35 minutes, turning them halfway through to promote even browning. They should be golden brown and crispy outside while soft and fluffy inside.
- Serve Warm: Once baked, optionally sprinkle extra fresh parsley or plant-based Parmesan on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the maximum crispness and vibrant flavors.
Notes
- Use Russet potatoes for the best fluffy interior and crisp exterior.
- Cut wedges evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Do not skip olive oil; it is essential for achieving crispiness and helps seasonings adhere.
- Always preheat the oven to ensure a hot temperature for proper crisping.
- Turn wedges halfway through baking to achieve a golden crust on all sides.
- Use fresh herbs to enhance and brighten the dish.
