Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (natural)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes to remove any dirt and pat them dry. Slice each potato into 6 to 8 even wedges, depending on size, leaving the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
  2. Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, combine olive oil (natural), garlic powder (natural), paprika (natural), salt, and black pepper. Toss the potato wedges gently until each wedge is evenly coated. Add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and mix again to enhance the umami flavor.
  3. Arrange for Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer, spacing them apart to avoid touching. Proper spacing ensures crispiness rather than sogginess.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through baking, flip each wedge to promote even browning and maximum crunch.
  5. Add Plant-Based Parmesan Cheese: About 5 minutes before the wedges are done, sprinkle plant-based Parmesan cheese generously over the wedges. Return to the oven briefly to allow the cheese to melt into a golden crust without burning.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the wedges from the oven and immediately toss with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes evenly to ensure all wedges cook at the same rate and avoid mushiness.
  • Bake at a high temperature to create a crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation and crispness.
  • Use fresh plant-based Parmesan cheese for optimal melting and rich flavor.
  • Flip wedges halfway through baking to ensure even browning and prevent burning.
