A delightful twist on classic fries, these oven-baked treats are seasoned with a flavorful blend of spices and herbs for a crispy, golden finish.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Wash and cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges.
Cutting the potatoes evenly ensures they cook at the same rate.
In a mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil until they are well coated.
Ensure each wedge is coated with oil for even baking.
Combine the paprika, cumin, oregano, cayenne, and sea salt in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Mixing the spices beforehand ensures an even distribution of flavor.
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Spacing the wedges apart helps them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wedges using tongs and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Flipping the wedges halfway through ensures even cooking.
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Serving the fries immediately ensures they retain their crispiness.
