Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and dry the red potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, 0.5 teaspoons of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Stir well to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between the pieces for optimal crispiness.
Place the baking sheet on the center rack of the preheated oven. Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden-brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
After removing the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley over the potatoes for added flavor and color.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack, enjoying the perfectly roasted, low-fat goodness.
