Crispy Air-Fryer Potato Wedges

1.Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

2.While the air fryer is heating, cut the washed russet potatoes into evenly sized wedges to ensure uniform cooking.

3.In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges with garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat all wedges with the seasoning.

4.If desired, lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking, though this is optional as the recipe is oil-free.

5.Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow proper air circulation for crispiness.

6.Cook the wedges at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to promote even browning and crispiness.

7.Check for doneness: the wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender inside when pierced with a fork.

8.Remove the wedges from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

9.Serve immediately as a healthy, crispy snack or side dish.
