Spiced Potato Wedges

These Spiced Potato Wedges are a delightful vegan snack inspired by Lebanese flavors, featuring a blend of warm spices that elevate the humble potato. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, they offer a satisfying crunch that pairs beautifully with a tangy dipping sauce.

Ingredients

• 2 large potatoes - 400 grams
• 2 tablespoons olive oil - 30 milliliters
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin - 2 grams
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander - 2 grams
• 1 teaspoon paprika - 2 grams
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric - 1 gram
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 gram
• 1/2 teaspoon salt - 3 grams
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - 1 gram
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice - 15 milliliters

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. Wash and scrub the potatoes, then cut them into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).
3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
