Oven-baked wedges are a delicious and healthier alternative to deep-fried French fries. They are easy to prepare and require just a few simple ingredients, making them a perfect side dish for any meal.
Instructions:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that it’s hot enough to get the wedges nice and crispy.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. If you prefer, you can peel the potatoes, but leaving the skin on adds extra texture and flavor.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4-6 wedges depending on the size of the potato and your desired thickness.
- Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Start with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and adjust according to your preference. Toss the wedges again to ensure an even coating.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the potato wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. This allows them to cook evenly and become crispy.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. About halfway through baking, flip the wedges to ensure both sides get golden and crispy.
- Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to avoid burning. The wedges are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your oven-baked potato wedges with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish to your main meal.
Tips:
- Cut the potatoes into even wedges to ensure they cook evenly.
- Preheat the oven to a high temperature, around 400°F (200°C), for optimal crispiness.
- Toss the potatoes in olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper for the best flavor.
- Place the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure they crisp up nicely on all sides.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- For added flavor, consider adding spices like paprika, garlic powder, or rosemary before baking.
- Serve immediately while they are hot and crispy.
With just potatoes, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper, you can create crispy, golden wedges that are packed with flavor. Simple, yet satisfying, oven-baked wedges are a nutritious addition to your dining table.
