- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato chunks to the bowl and toss well to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning.
Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven once they are golden and crispy on the edges.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the potatoes as a garnish before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or a stand-alone snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
