Begin by washing the small red potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for added nutrients and fiber. Cut each potato into 1/2-inch thick slices.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until you have a well-blended seasoning oil.
Add the potato slices into the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are white and ashed over. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the seasoned potato slices directly onto the grill grates. Grill the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes on each side or until they develop golden brown grill marks and are fork-tender.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle them with fresh lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy grilled potatoes as a perfect side dish for any meal.
