Instructions

Preheat Oven:
Set your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Prep Potatoes:
Wash and cut potatoes into wedges.
Season:
In a large bowl, combine the oil and spice mix. Add potato wedges and toss to coat evenly.
Bake:
Spread wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake for 35 minutes, flipping halfway through at the 15-minute mark, until golden and crispy.
Serve:
Enjoy hot, optionally with your favorite dipping sauce like garlic aioli, ketchup, or vegan ranch.

Notes

For extra crispiness, soak the wedges in cold water for 20 minutes before baking, then pat dry.
You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less red pepper or chili powder.
Nutritional yeast adds a delicious umami “cheesy” kick while keeping it dairy-free.
