Are you craving potato wedges, but trying to avoid fried food? Well, I got the perfect alternative recipe for you. And the best part, it is quick and easy to make.
We all know that eating fried food (or too much of it) is not good for our health, and I am big on trying to eat healthier while still enjoying all the foods I love. And one food item I LOVE is seasoned potato wedges. So here it is, a baked version. Much healthier. And they are the perfect side that goes with almost every dish.
These wedges are seasoned with a wide range of spices (listed below) to give it a delicious flavor. To make it even tastier and a little spicier, I added some common Indian spices to the mix, too. So, feel free to experiment with your favorite seasonings or reduce the variety of spices added to the wedges. After all, you are the one eating it, so make them how you enjoy eating them.
In order to make these wedges as healthy as wedges can be, I opted to bake the potatoes over frying them and use avocado oil over canola oil. Fee free to mix it up or use your choice of oil.
Tip: If you want your wedges to be crispier, then make sure you do not skip the first step: soaking the potatoes in cold water. This removes the starch found in potatoes and allows for the extra crispiness.
Happy baking!
