How do I ensure my potato wedges get crispy in the oven?

To achieve crispy wedges, ensure they are tossed well with oil and spices, then arranged in a single layer on the baking sheet so they roast, not steam. Turning them halfway through baking also helps.

Can I adjust the spice level of these potato wedges?

Yes, the recipe calls for 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, allowing you to adjust the heat to your personal preference. You can also omit it for a milder flavor.

What sauces are recommended to serve with these spicy potato wedges?

These wedges are specifically designed to be served with a rich vegan nacho cheese sauce and a creamy homemade vegan sour cream, both of which you prepare while the potatoes bake.

What is the total baking time for the potato wedges?

The potato wedges bake for an initial 35 minutes at 355 degreesF, with a turn halfway through. If they aren't fully tender, you can bake them for an additional 10 minutes.

Can I prepare the vegan nacho cheese sauce and sour cream in advance?

While the recipe suggests preparing the sauces while the wedges bake, you can certainly make them ahead of time to streamline your cooking process. Store them separately in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

How to Prepare Spicy Potato Wedges With Nacho Cheese [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 355°F and have a baking sheet ready.
In a large bowl, combine your potato wedges with oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne, and dried parsley. Season liberally with salt and pepper, and then toss everything until all the seasoning has been evenly distributed on the potato wedges.
Once everything has been mixed well, transfer wedges to a baking sheet and make sure they are placed on the baking sheet in a single row. You want your wedges to roast, not steam.
Pop into the oven for 35 minutes, giving the wedges a turn halfway through the cooking process.
While the wedges are in the oven, prepare your Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce and Homemade Sour Cream.
After 35 minutes, check that your wedges are done, check that they are cooked through and tender. If they aren't, let them bake for another 10 minutes. When they are done, serve with prepared sauces (drizzle them on if you wish) and garnish with coriander and diced pepper.
