Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Seitan
- 700 grams Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Cut the baby potatoes in half and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl with the potatoes.
Add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl with the potatoes and garlic, then mix everything until the potatoes are well coated.
Place the coated potatoes on a baking sheet, making sure they are spread out in a single layer for even cooking.
Take the seitan and pat it dry with a paper towel. Then rub it with the olive oil, followed by the freshly chopped rosemary and thyme.
Place the seitan on another baking sheet. Slice the lemon and arrange the slices over the seitan for extra flavor.
Place both the seitan and potatoes in the preheated oven. Roast for about 45 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking.
Check the seitan and potatoes for doneness. The potatoes should be golden and crispy on the outside, and the seitan should be firm yet tender.
Once done, remove everything from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the roasted herb seitan alongside the crispy potatoes with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
