(Serves 4)

Wedge options (choose your favorite!):

🥔 Classic: 2 lbs russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 8 wedges each
🥬 Low-carb/keto:
→ Radishes (halved or quartered—they mimic potato texture when roasted!)
→ Turnips or jicama, cut into wedges
→ Cauliflower florets (for ultra-low-carb)
🍠 Sweet option: 2 lbs sweet potatoes, cut into wedges (higher carb but nutrient-dense)

Crispy garlic-herb coating:

2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
1 tbsp almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs (you love almond flour—memory #25!)
1½ tsp garlic powder (you love garlic!)
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp dried rosemary or thyme
Salt to taste (use reduced-sodium—you love low-sodium!)
Optional: Pinch of red pepper flakes (you love spicy!)

For serving:

Fresh parsley or chives
Lemon wedges (you love citrus brightness!)
Sugar-free ranch, garlic aioli, or tzatziki for dipping (you love creamy textures!)

Instructions

1. Prep wedges:

For potatoes: Scrub well; cut into even wedges. Soak in cold water 15 minutes to remove excess starch (key for crispness!). Drain; pat very dry.
For radishes/turnips: Cut into wedges; pat dry (no soaking needed).

2. Season:

In a large bowl, whisk oil, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, herbs, salt, and optional red pepper flakes.
Add wedges; toss until evenly coated.

3. Arrange for crispiness:

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line baking sheet with parchment. Arrange wedges in a single layer, cut-side down, with space between each (crowding = steaming!).

4. Roast:

Bake 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until deeply golden and crispy on edges.
→ Potatoes: 30–35 min | Radishes/Turnips: 20–25 min | Cauliflower: 18–22 min

5. Finish & serve:

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon zest. Serve warm with your favorite sugar-free dip.

💡 Pro Tips for Perfection:
✅ Pat wedges DRY—moisture is the enemy of crispiness.
✅ Don’t overcrowd the pan—use two sheets if needed for even browning.
✅ Almond flour = extra crunch—creates a golden, flavorful crust without gluten.
✅ Low-sodium mastery (you love this!):
→ Skip added salt; boost flavor with extra garlic, herbs, lemon zest, and black pepper
→ Use reduced-sodium dipping sauces
✅ Blood sugar friendly (you love this!):
→ Radishes/turnips = naturally low-glycemic!
→ Net carbs: 4g per serving (with radishes)
✅ Low-carb/keto option (you love this!):
→ Use radishes or turnips + almond flour coating
→ Already compliant! <5g net carbs/serving
✅ Make ahead:
→ Seasoned raw wedges keep 1 day refrigerated
→ Re-crisp leftovers in air fryer 3–4 min at 400°F

Air Fryer Method (ultra-crispy, faster!):

→ Toss prepped wedges with coating mixture.
→ Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12–18 minutes, shaking basket halfway, until golden and crisp.
→ Radishes: 12–14 min | Potatoes: 16–18 min

Extra-Crispy Upgrade:

→ After tossing with oil and spices, dust wedges lightly with 1 tsp baking powder (aluminum-free). Raises pH = extra-crispy exterior!

Flavor Variation Ideas (you love unique combos!):

→ Parmesan-Garlic: Add 2 tbsp grated Parmesan to coating (use reduced-sodium!)
→ Everything Bagel: Swap herbs for everything bagel seasoning
→ Spicy Lime: Add lime zest + extra cayenne to coating
→ Rosemary-Lemon: Use fresh rosemary + lemon zest in place of dried herbs

→ Serving ideas:
→ Alongside juicy pork chops, grilled chicken, or steak (you love these!)
