Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and dry the baby potatoes. If they are larger than bite-sized, cut them in half or quarters to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite heart-healthy meal. Enjoy the crispy, flavorful potatoes!
