SEASONING FOR BAKED POTATO WEDGES

To season potato wedges, start by patting them dry to help the spices stick and ensure crispiness. Toss the wedges in a large bowl with olive oil until evenly coated, which helps the seasoning adhere and promotes browning. If you like heat, sprinkle in chilli powder or cayenne pepper. Toss everything thoroughly so each wedge is well coated, then let them sit briefly before baking to absorb the flavours.

Italian seasoning.
Onion powder.
Curry powder, for example, Madras.
Fresh and dried herbs, such as parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and basil.
Chopped fresh garlic.
Salt, for example, kosher salt, sea salt, and flavoured salt such as garlic salt.

INGREDIENTS FOR BAKED POTATO WEDGES

Potatoes: The star ingredient of this recipe is the potato. You can use russet potatoes or other potato types that you normally use for roasted potatoes. Additionally, you can use sweet potatoes, too. Regarding the size of the potatoes, ideally, large potatoes are better for this recipe. However, if you have medium or small potatoes at home, you can use them.
Vegetable oil: Olive oil is a great oil when you are making potato wedges. If you don’t have this ingredient, you can use another vegetable oil, such as sunflower oil.

VEGAN PARMESAN CHEESE

Although nowadays it’s easier to find vegan alternatives to dairy products, sometimes, where we live, that’s not an option, or if it is, it can be expensive. Therefore, if you want to make your homemade vegan Parmesan cheese, you can make it yourself with only 4 ingredients:

½ Cup of raw cashew nuts.
2 Tbsps of Nutritional yeast.
½ Tsp of Garlic powder.
½ Tsp of Himalayan salt.

INSTRUCTIONS

Add ½ cup of raw cashew nuts to a high-speed food processor.
Pulse the food processor and check the texture and consistency of the raw cashews until you reach the desired taste.
Then, add 2 tbsp. of nutritional yeast, ½ tsp. of garlic powder, and ½ tsp. of Himalayan salt. Pulse again to integrate the ingredients.
To store your vegan Parmesan cheese, place the Parmesan cheese in a glass/jar container with a lid and keep it refrigerated in the fridge.
