Ingredients

  

• For the crispy potato wedges: 2 lbs russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into thick wedges
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
• 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper
• For the marinated chickpeas: 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar or lemon juice
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 small garlic clove, grated or minced
• Pinch of salt and pepper
• Fresh toppings: 1 cup diced cucumber
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
• 1/2 cup vegan feta, crumbled
• Fresh parsley or dill, chopped
• Lemon tahini drizzle: 1/3 cup tahini
• 1 large lemon, juiced (about 3 tbsp)
• 1 small garlic clove, grated
• 1–3 tbsp cold water (to thin)
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

 

• Heat the oven: Set to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment or lightly oil it.
• Prep the potatoes: Scrub and cut into wedges. Soak in cold water for 10–15 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat very dry.
• Season and roast: Toss wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer, cut sides down. Roast 20 minutes, flip, then roast 15–20 minutes more until deeply golden and crisp.
• Marinate the chickpeas: While potatoes roast, mix chickpeas with olive oil, vinegar or lemon, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Let sit at least 15 minutes.
• Make the lemon tahini: Whisk tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Add cold water a little at a time until smooth and drizzleable. Adjust lemon and salt to taste.
• Prep the toppings: Dice cucumber, halve tomatoes, slice olives and onion, and crumble vegan feta. Chop herbs.
• Assemble: Pile hot wedges onto a platter. Spoon over marinated chickpeas, then add cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and onion. Sprinkle with vegan feta and herbs. Drizzle generously with lemon tahini.
• Finish and serve: Add a final grind of pepper and a squeeze of lemon if you like. Serve immediately while the potatoes are crisp.

Keeping It Fresh

• Store separately: Keep potatoes, toppings, chickpeas, and sauce in separate containers.
• Fridge time: Potatoes keep 2–3 days; chickpeas and sauce 4–5 days; chopped veg 1–2 days.
• Reheat right: Re-crisp wedges at 400°F (205°C) for 8–10 minutes or in an air fryer. Assemble just before serving.

Why This is Good for You

• Plant-powered protein and fiber: Chickpeas and potatoes keep you full and energized.
• Healthy fats: Tahini and olive oil bring heart-healthy unsaturated fats.
• Micronutrient boost: Tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and herbs add antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
• Lower in saturated fat: Vegan feta gives creamy, salty vibes without dairy.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Crowding the pan: Overlapping wedges steam instead of crisp.Use two pans if needed.
• Skipping the dry-off: Wet potatoes won’t brown well. Pat them very dry after soaking.
• Under-seasoning: Potatoes love salt. Taste and adjust before roasting and at the end.
• Thick tahini sauce: If it’s pasty, add more cold water until it drizzles smoothly.

Variations You Can Try

• Add heat: Sprinkle chili flakes or use spicy harissa in the tahini.
• Herb swap: Try mint and dill for a fresh twist.
• Extra crunch: Add toasted pine nuts or panko-crusted chickpeas.
• Protein bump: Add grilled tofu or tempeh with lemon-oregano marinade.
• Different base: Use sweet potato wedges or thick-cut oven fries.

FAQs

Can I make this oil-free?

Yes.

Roast the potatoes on parchment after tossing with aquafaba (the liquid from the chickpea can) and seasonings. Skip the oil in the chickpea marinade and add a bit more vinegar or lemon.

What if I don’t have vegan feta?

Use a quick tofu “feta” by crumbling firm tofu and tossing it with lemon juice, olive brine or vinegar, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit 10–15 minutes.

Can I use canned potatoes or frozen fries?

Frozen thick-cut fries work well in a pinch.

Bake until very crisp, then proceed with toppings. Canned potatoes won’t get as crispy.

How do I keep the wedges crispy under all those toppings?

Assemble right before serving, and keep the tahini drizzle light at first. You can also serve toppings and sauce on the side so everyone builds their own.

Is this gluten-free?

Yes, as written it’s naturally gluten-free.

Just confirm your vegan feta and tahini are certified if needed.
