Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (red or yellow)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel to ensure they roast nicely.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, and black pepper.
Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss them until evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down. Ensure there is space between each potato for even roasting.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown, flipping them halfway through cooking.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an added layer of flavor.
Serve the smoky potatoes warm as a heart-healthy side dish.
