Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.5 cup chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into medium-sized wedges.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, water, chickpea flour, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the lemon-chickpea mixture.
Transfer the coated potatoes to a large baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the potatoes to ensure they are tender and golden brown.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
