Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Unsulfured molasses
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. If potatoes are large, cut them in half to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and fork-tender.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the molasses glaze. In a small saucepan over low heat, add the minced garlic, molasses, fresh thyme, and unsalted butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a large bowl and drizzle the molasses glaze over them. Toss gently to ensure each potato is well coated with the glaze.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
