Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes, then cut them in half. If they are larger, quarter them for even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until a thick paste forms.
Add the cut potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated with the paste, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor and crispiness.
Spread the coated potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately as a high-protein side dish.
