Weight Watchers Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges

Ingredients:

• 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well)

• 2 tbsp olive oil (or a light spray of olive oil)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning (or mix of oregano, basil, thyme)

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the potatoes: Wash and cut potatoes into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).

3. Toss with seasoning: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add potato wedges and toss to coat evenly.

4. Arrange and bake: Spread wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they aren’t crowded. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

5. Add Parmesan: Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Return to oven for 2–3 minutes to melt cheese slightly.

6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and serve warm as a delicious, guilt-free side.

The garlic-infused olive oil seasoning seeps deep into every wedge, while the Parmesan cheese adds a salty, savory punch that elevates the simple potato to a gourmet side dish.
