Crispy Potato Wedges


Guest post by Ms. theVeganAsana Jr.2

Potatoes often take a long time to bake, but they are worth it in the end. These potato wedges are simple and perfect with any condiment.

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C)
  2. Wash potatoes and peel if desired
  3. Cut potatoes into wedges and lay them on a baking tray with the curved side on the tray (this means the potatoes will not have to be flipped while baking, making everything easier)
  4. Drizzle olive oil on top of the potato wedges
  5. Add seasonings such as salt, pepper, dill, italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin (I used salt, lots of dill, italian seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder)
  6. Put into oven and let bake for an hour, or until the potatoes are crispy, occasionally checking
  7. Enjoy alone or with a condiment such as ketchup, mashed avocado, or hummus!

 

Easy Italian Vegetable Stew (Vegan)

This is a perfect dish for the cool fall days.  It uses fresh veggies, cooks while you are at work or otherwise busy, and warms the belly. I got this recipe from a friend and colleague in Johnstown, PA, many years ago.  Thanks, Merrily!

Ingredients

6 oz. green beans                                                                   1 ½ c. sliced onions

3 tsp. minced garlic                                                              1 small eggplant in chunks (with peel)

2 large yellow squash in chunks (with peel)               2 bell peppers in strips

3 potatoes in chunks (no peel)                                         1 ½ c. tomato sauce

¼ c. olive oil                                                                            1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

Process

Put green beans, onions, and garlic in bottom of crock-pot.  Mix the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and pour on top of green beans, onions, and garlic.  Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

(You can make this on the stove, just cook on a very low temp for less time)
