Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 large, minced garlic cloves
- 1 large, zested and juiced lemon
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
- 1 tsp (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 tsp (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Thoroughly wash the baby potatoes and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking. Leave smaller potatoes whole.
Bring a medium-large pot of water to a boil, adding a generous pinch of salt. Add the potatoes and parboil for 10 minutes, ensuring they are slightly softened but not fully cooked.
Drain the potatoes and let them steam dry for 2 minutes. While the potatoes are drying, prepare the lemon-coriander mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Toss the parboiled potatoes in the lemon-coriander marinade, ensuring each potato is evenly coated.
Spread the coated potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped fresh coriander for added freshness and aroma.
Serve hot and enjoy these vibrant, flavorful roast potatoes as a perfect accompaniment to your main dish!
