Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for added fiber and nutrients.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into wedges by cutting at an angle, aiming for about 8 wedges per potato.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the seasoning mixture.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them with the seasoning mixture. Ensure the wedges are evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there is enough space between each wedge so they bake evenly and become crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes. Halfway through, flip each wedge for even browning.
Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the wedges; they should be tender inside and crispy outside.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite heart-healthy dip or enjoy them on their own.
