1️⃣ Preheat the oven
- Set oven to 200°C (400°F).

- Sprinkle salt, pepper, and spices.
4️⃣ Roast
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway, until edges are golden and slightly crispy.

🍽️ Serving Ideas
- Serve with grilled chicken, fish, or rice dishes

💡 Tips

- High heat helps make the edges caramelized and crispy.
- You can also cook wedges in a pan with butter and garlic for a quick version.
