Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly but do not peel them. Use a spiralizer to create potato spirals. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can thinly slice the potatoes into rounds using a mandoline slicer.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and sea salt.
Add the potato spirals to the bowl and toss well to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoned oil mixture.
Spread the seasoned potato spirals in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the potatoes over and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon zest for an added burst of flavor.
Serve immediately as a tasty and heart-healthy side dish or enjoy as a wholesome snack on its own.
