Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium potatoes
Seasoning Mix
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking crispy potato wedges.
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut each one into evenly sized wedges to promote uniform cooking.
- Mix the seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt, stirring until well blended.
- Coat the wedges: Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the seasoning mixture until each wedge is evenly coated.
- Arrange for baking: Spread the coated wedges out in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even crisping.
- Bake the wedges: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to achieve a golden, crispy texture on all sides.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the wedges from the oven and serve them hot for the best crunch and flavor experience.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning, then dry thoroughly.
- You can adjust the level of smoked paprika for a milder or smokier flavor according to your preference.
- Use parchment paper on your baking sheet to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- These wedges are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- Feel free to experiment with other spices like cayenne pepper or Italian seasoning for varied flavors.
