Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into halves. If the potatoes are very small, you can leave them whole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well to make a marinade.
Add the halved potatoes to the bowl with the marinade and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and herb mixture.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 35-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Stir the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
Garnish the roasted potatoes with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious vegan side dish or enjoy as a main course with a fresh salad.
