Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp ground coriander
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly, then cut them in half or quarters if they are larger, ensuring even-sized pieces for uniform roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, turmeric, paprika, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Mix well to form a spiced oil mixture.
Add the cut potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spiced oil mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure there is enough space around each piece for proper roasting and crisping.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
After 25 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, then serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
