Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Baby potatoes
- 100 g Sunflower seeds
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on, and cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size to ensure even cooking.
In a food processor, pulse the sunflower seeds until they are coarsely ground—aim for a breadcrumb-like texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sunflower seeds, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the coating mixture.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss them until evenly coated.
Add the sunflower seed mixture to the bowl with the potatoes and toss again to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated in the mixture.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your Sunflower Seed Potatoes!
