Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Wash and halve the baby potatoes, ensuring that they are of similar size for even cooking.
In a large pot, combine the potatoes with the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them sit in the colander to dry for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving crispiness.
Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the potatoes out in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.
Place the rosemary sprigs on top of the potatoes to infuse them with flavor.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy on the outside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven, discard the rosemary sprigs, and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat crispy oven roast potatoes as a delicious, satisfying side dish.
