Add a spicy kick to your main course, with this delicious and healthier oven-baked Syn Free Spicy Potato Wedges – yum!!
By now you must of all seen my how to create Perfect Syn Free Chips, if not, then you really should go check that out. It’s the perfect method for crispy syn free chips.
But potato wedges are slightly different, where I always use a floury type of potato for my perfect syn free chips, for these Syn Free Spicy Potato Wedges, I prefer to use Yukon Golds, which are delicious buttery waxy type potatoes.
You also don’t need to parboil the potatoes when making potato wedges, but the soaking is key, don’t skip that part, as it really helps to create perfect Syn Free Spicy Potato Wedges.
These are pretty similar to my Syn Free Garlic and Herb Potato Wedges – check those out, if you don’t like spicy because those are equally yummy.
For the Spicy Potato Wedges, we use a unique blend of spices, just the right amounts, so that it almost coats them like a batter – yum.
The spices I use are sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin and cayenne pepper. The amount of cayenne you use totally depends on what level of spiciness you like. I use a 1/4 of a tsp, as it’s the right level of spicy for my kids, but if you were making just for adults and can handle that kick, up the cayenne to maybe 1/2 a tsp.
These spicy potato wedges can be enjoyed on their own with a big salad and if you like to dip your chips, there is my low sugar low syn ketchup and my low syn ranch dressing, which both go great with these.
I enjoy making a quick garlic mayo to go with these, which is made from light mayo, plain yoghurt, garlic powder and fresh parsley. A delicious combination for dunking those spicy potato wedges into.
