Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water, scrubbing away any dirt. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 to 6 wedges, depending on your preferred thickness, aiming for even-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them vigorously until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each wedge to allow for even baking and crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, use a spatula to flip the wedges over and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Once done, remove from the oven and let them sit for a couple of minutes to firm up further.
Serve hot as a side dish or snack. Pair with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce for added flavor.
