Meat-free Monday: Air fryer nacho cheese wedges

These flavourful wedges are a great lower-fat alternative to oven fries and are just as tasty, without all the extra oil.

Three ingredients, 30 minutes in the air fryer and you can deliver piping-hot cheesy wedges to the dinner table! Serve as a side dish for a family meal, or as a snack with a dip made by combining mayo, Greek yoghurt and lemon juice. Recipe compliments of Royco.

Ingredients

  •  5 large potatoes
  •  30ml (2 Tbsp) oil
  •  1 sachet Royco Nacho Cheese Wedges Coat & Cook

Method

  1. Preheat the air fryer or oven to 180°C.
  2. Cut each potato lengthwise into eight wedges and pat dry with kitchen paper. Place the wedges on a sheet of foil or baking paper and drizzle generously with the oil.
  3. Sprinkle the contents of the sachet of Royco Nacho Cheese Wedges Coat & Cook over the wedges so they are evenly dusted.
  4. Air fry for about 30 minutes, or until the wedges are crisp, golden and cooked right through. Turn the wedges over halfway through cooking. In an oven, they will take about 45 minutes.
  5. Serve as a side dish or snack.

Tip: Leave the potatoes unpeeled, because the skins contain fibre and important nutrients.
