4. Bake
   • Arrange wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet.
   • Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
5. Add Parmesan & Garnish
   • Sprinkle Parmesan over the hot wedges and toss lightly.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.
6. Serve & Enjoy
   • Serve hot with ranch, marinara, or garlic aioli for dipping.
