Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Scrub the potatoes clean and cut them into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato). Leave the skin on for extra texture.
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, za'atar, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the wedges. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Chef's Tips
- Za'atar Substitute: If you don’t have za'atar, mix dried thyme, sesame seeds, and sumac for a similar flavor.
- Extra Crispy: Soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch for crispier results.
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika for a spicy kick.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with garlic yogurt or tahini sauce for dipping.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
