Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the red potatoes thoroughly. Cut the potatoes into quarters or into 1-inch cubes, ensuring evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, finely chopped fresh rosemary and thyme, minced garlic cloves, black pepper, lemon zest, onion powder, and paprika. Stir to blend all ingredients well.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to get an even roast.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 30 to 35 minutes. Halfway through cooking, turn the potatoes to ensure even browning and crisping.
After 35 minutes, check the potatoes for doneness. They should be golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for a final touch of flavor.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish to complement your main course.
