Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large red potatoes
- 1 second spray olive oil spray
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 medium lime
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.
Place the potato cubes in a large mixing bowl and lightly spray them with olive oil, tossing to ensure even coating.
Dice the red and green bell peppers and the red onion into small, uniform pieces and add them to the bowl with the potatoes.
In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the vegetable mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with spices.
Spread the seasoned vegetables in an even layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the fresh cilantro and set it aside.
Once the potatoes are finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mixture and toss in the chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low fat fiesta potatoes as a side dish or light main course.
