Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thoroughly wash the baby potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the larger potatoes into halves or quarters to ensure all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice for a burst of freshness.
Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish before serving.
Serve the Vegan Cajun Potatoes hot as a side dish or enjoy them as a spicy snack.
