Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes (or fingerling potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (adjust for spice level)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (preferably low-sodium or omit if necessary)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added nutrients.
Cut the potatoes in half (or quarters for larger ones) to ensure even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt (if using). Mix well to form a spice mixture.
Add the halved potatoes into the bowl and toss them well until all pieces are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Arrange the seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This will help them roast evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Once the potatoes are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 2–3 minutes.
Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy spicy roasted potatoes!
