Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water and dry them with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a fork, poke several holes into each potato. This allows steam to escape during baking and helps prevent the potatoes from bursting.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Lightly spray each potato with olive oil spray. Ensure all sides are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together sea salt, black pepper, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and garlic powder.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the potatoes, making sure they are well-coated. You can pat the seasonings onto the potatoes gently.
Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and arrange them with some space in between to allow even heat distribution.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 50 to 55 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and a fork easily pierces the flesh.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool down for a few minutes before serving. Serve them as a side dish or top them with your favorite low-fat toppings like Greek yogurt and chives.
