These crispy oven-baked parmesan potato wedges are 100% vegan, gluten-free, easy to make and flavorful. They are a great side dish, snack or appetizer. Enjoy with ketchup, guac, or mayo.
Vegan Parmesan Potato Fries
Do you love fast-food? Well, I do, but only when it’s healthy. So today I decided to make these crispy vegan parmesan potato wedges which I served with two different dips.
This recipe is super easy to make and you will only need a few ingredients. It’s a wonderful side dish, snack or appetizer.
Cheezy Flavor
The preparation time of the vegan parmesan is only some minutes and even though it doesn’t taste exactly like real parmesan, it’s still very delicious. The cheezy flavor comes from the nutritional yeast flakes.
I added ground almond flour to the mixture because almonds contain healthy fats and underline the taste of the nutritional yeast flakes. But you can also use ground cashew nuts instead of ground almonds. To make the recipe nut-free simply use ground sunflower seeds or hemp seeds.
Not Only For Potato Wedges
This vegan parmesan can be sprinkled over every savory food, it also tastes great on spaghetti, pizza, rice dishes, and even veggies. You can make “cauliflower buffalo wings” with the vegan parmesan or put it on your avocado toast. There are lots of options, and I never get tired of the taste.
How To Make Vegan Parmesan Potato Wedges?
The recipe is very easy to make and involves only a few steps.
- First, you need to chop the potatoes into wedges and prepare the flax egg mixture.
- Next, prepare the homemade “parmesan” breading in a food processor or in a bowl.
- Coat the wedges with the flax egg mixture and toss in the breading.
- Bake in the oven until crispy!
That’s it! I am sure you will love the recipe because it is:
- Crispy
- Vegan
- Cheezy
- Gluten-free
- Oven-baked
- Flavorful
- Easy to make
Healthier Than Deep Fried Fries
As I wrote before, I love eating fast food, but not when it’s deep-fried because it gives me a stomach ache. These vegan parmesan potato wedges are much healthier than deep-fried potato fries from a fast-food restaurant but they are still very flavorful and delicious.
Use Your Favorite Dip
I served the vegan parmesan potato wedges with ketchup and homemade guacamole but you can use any dip of choice, for example, vegan mayonnaise.

Ir sounds delicious. But I have a question: how can I replace the nutricional yeast flakes for ground nutricional yeast?
You can use ground nutritional yeast, that’s no problem. 🙂
Love this recipe! I have some picky eaters and they gobbled these up. They ask me to make these at least once a week.
Yay, that awesome! So glad you loved the recipe Katie. 🙂
So sorry you didn’t like the recipe, Karen!
Hi Ela,
This sounds amazing and I love that it can be oil free. Do you think the coating would work for other things like eggplant or even chicken seitan cutlets?
Also, can you include measurements in cups and teaspoons for those who don’t know metrics?
Thanks,
Susan
Hi Susan! The measurements are already in cups/teaspoons and also in grams. And yes, I am pretty sure the coating would work for other dishes.
