Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Thoroughly wash the baby potatoes and pat them dry. Cut larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking while leaving smaller ones whole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each potato to allow for crisping.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning.
Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork; it should slide in easily, and the edges should be crispy.
Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Cajun roast potatoes!
