Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes in half, or into quarters if they are larger, to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
Place the cut potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to evenly coat the potatoes with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast and become crispy.
Chop the fresh rosemary and thyme, then sprinkle the herbs evenly over the potatoes on the baking sheet.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Halfway through roasting, toss the potatoes gently with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Once the potatoes are roasted to a crispy texture, remove them from the oven. Scatter lemon zest over the warm potatoes for a fresh zing just before serving.
Serve the low-fat perfectly roasted potatoes immediately as a side dish with your favorite main courses.
