Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut each in half. If they are larger, cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create the Cajun seasoning blend.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until all the potatoes are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to promote even roasting.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Flip them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your favorite main course.
