Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams new potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
- 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh and chopped
- 1 tablespoon mint leaves, fresh and chopped
- 1 whole lemon, juiced and zested
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry, then cut into halves or quarters depending on their size, ensuring all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground turmeric, minced garlic, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful spice paste.
Add the potatoes to the bowl with the spice paste. Toss them until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure they aren’t overcrowded for better roasting.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy on the edges and tender inside.
While the potatoes are roasting, chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves. Zest the lemon and then juice it, setting both aside.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the fresh herbs over the top, then drizzle with the lemon juice and sprinkle the zest for a fresh, zesty finish.
Toss the potatoes lightly to combine all the flavors. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a flavorful snack!
