Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3/4 tsp paprika powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
For Serving
- Ketchup
- Vegan ranch mayo dip
- Sriracha mayo
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it ready for roasting the potatoes.
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each medium potato into wedges by slicing them in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges depending on size.
- Season the wedges: In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, paprika powder, onion powder, garlic powder (if using), salt, and ground black pepper. Add the potato wedges and toss well to ensure they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
- Arrange for roasting: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Roast the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure even crisping. The wedges should be golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with ketchup, vegan ranch mayo dip, or sriracha mayo for dipping.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and roasting.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more paprika or salt if preferred.
- Use sweet potatoes as an alternative for a variation with natural sweetness.
- Ensure wedges are evenly spaced on the baking sheet to prevent steaming and to encourage crisping.
- The optional garlic powder adds a nice depth but can be omitted for a milder flavor.
