- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Arrange the wedges cut-side down in a single layer on the baking sheet.

- Continue baking until golden and crisp, about 25 to 30 more minutes. Adjust cooking time as needed based on wedge size.

Notes
Ensure the potato wedges are uniform in size for even cooking.
If needed, use two pans to avoid overcrowding and ensure a crispy texture.
