Ingredients:

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Vegan parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel, then cut each potato lengthwise into wedges. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
  3. Create the Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated, forming a fragrant and flavorful seasoning mixture.
  4. Coat the Potato Wedges: Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the wedges, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Use your hands or a spoon to toss the wedges gently, making sure each wedge is evenly seasoned.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. Overlapping wedges can prevent proper crisping.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the potato wedges for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning; they should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Once the potato wedges are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and vegan parmesan cheese, if desired, to add an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.
  8. Enjoy Your Culinary Creation: Serve the Vegan Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges hot as a delightful appetizer, snack, or side dish. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces or enjoy them on their own for a satisfying and savory experience.
