Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Slice them in half and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss well to coat them evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes and toss again until all pieces are well coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even roasting.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking using a spatula to ensure both sides become crispy and golden brown.
Once the potatoes are tender and crisp, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your easy spicy roasted potatoes!
