Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (392Β°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the honey gold potatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the high-protein topping. In a blender or food processor, combine the drained chickpeas and tahini. Blend until smooth and creamy. You can add a tablespoon of water if needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.
After 25 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a spatula to stir the potatoes gently.
Return the potatoes to the oven and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Transfer the warm potatoes to a serving dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast for a vegan option.
Serve the baked honey gold potatoes with a generous dollop of the chickpea tahini mixture on top, adding a healthy boost of protein.
Enjoy your high-protein baked honey gold bite-size potatoes as a nutritious and satisfying dish.
