Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds small red potatoes
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with red, yellow, and green bell peppers.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potato and pepper mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
Add minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are well coated with the spices.
Spread the potato mixture evenly onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the roasted potatoes and drizzle with fresh lime juice.
Toss everything together on the baking sheet to ensure the cilantro and lime juice are evenly distributed.
Serve warm as a delicious and heart-healthy side dish.
