Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients, which is in line with the Mediterranean diet.

Step 3

Cut each potato into wedges by first slicing in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 4 smaller wedges.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 5

Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly until all wedges are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.

Step 6

Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip each wedge to ensure even browning on both sides.

Step 8

Return the wedges to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Step 10

Drizzle the lemon juice over the hot wedges and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite Mediterranean-style main course.
