Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (vegan)
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients.
Cut larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking. Small potatoes can be left whole.
Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and add olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the potatoes with smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Toss again to ensure all potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they start to turn golden brown and become tender.
While potatoes are roasting, prepare the BBQ sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, vegan Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and liquid smoke.
Stir the sauce ingredients together and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the prepared BBQ sauce over the potatoes and toss to coat them well.
Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the BBQ sauce to caramelize slightly on the potatoes.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve the Vegan BBQ Potatoes warm, garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro if desired.
