Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 jalapeno pepper
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 lime
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Scrub the baby potatoes clean and cut them into halves or quarters if they're large, ensuring even-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil with ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the cut potatoes to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the seasoned oil mixture until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer and place in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are roasting, dice the red and green bell peppers and the red onion. Finely chop the jalapeno pepper and mince the garlic cloves.
In the last 10 minutes of roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a bit more olive oil if needed and sauté the diced peppers, onion, jalapeno, and garlic until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and combine them with the sautéed vegetable mixture in a large serving bowl. Toss gently to mix.
Chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the potato mixture.
Cut the lime into wedges and serve these alongside the dish for an extra burst of fresh flavor. Enjoy your Sugar-Free Fiesta Potatoes as a vibrant and nutritious side dish!
