Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper (natural)
- 1/2 cup shredded plant-based parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash and scrub four large russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into evenly sized wedges to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
- Season the wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with three tablespoons of olive oil (natural), minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), smoked paprika (natural), sea salt (natural), and cracked black pepper (natural) for robust flavor.
- Add plant-based cheese and herbs: Sprinkle shredded plant-based parmesan cheese and dried parsley (natural) over the seasoned wedges, mixing gently so the cheese starts to coat the potatoes without clumping.
- Bake to crispy perfection: Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a lined baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 30-35 minutes, flipping once halfway through to achieve a golden, crispy crust on all sides.
- Serve warm and enjoy: Once out of the oven, let the wedges cool slightly before serving. This allows the plant-based cheese to set slightly, enhancing the texture and flavor combination.
Notes
- Use dry potatoes: Pat your potatoes dry after washing to get extra crispiness when baking.
- Cut wedges evenly to ensure uniform cooking and avoid soggy or overdone pieces.
- Flip wedges only once halfway through baking for even cooking and maximum crunch.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to allow proper air circulation and crispiness.
- Add finely minced fresh garlic right before baking for a sharper, aromatic garlic flavor.
