Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
Step 2
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold running water and dry them with a clean kitchen towel. It's optional to peel them; leaving the skin on adds more nutrients.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized wedges. First, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
Step 4
Place the potato wedges into a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Toss well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 5
Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This will help them roast evenly and become crispy.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure they become crispy and golden brown on all sides.
Step 7
Once done, remove the wedges from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet to let them crisp up further.
Step 8
Transfer the crispy roasted potato wedges to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy culinary creation!
