What you'll need

  • Half-sheet pan — Bake, broil, or roast appetizers on a flat, rimmed surface.
  • Small ramekins — Individual portions for dips, baked eggs, and small bites.
  • Pastry brush — Brush egg wash or oil on dough without tearing it.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the potatoes and cut them into uniform wedges or thick strips.
  3. Soak the potato pieces in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat them completely dry with a towel.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the avocado oil and all spices (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper).
  5. Add the potato pieces to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated in the spiced oil.
  6. Spread the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they aren't touching.
  7. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm.

FAQ

Is it necessary to use organic spices?

Using organic spices is non-essential but preferred for avoiding artificial additives and maximum nutrition.

Can I use a different type of oil if I don't have avocado oil?

While avocado oil is ideal, you can use another clean oil like olive or coconut oil as an alternative.
