Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking pan. Ensure they are arranged in a single layer for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure they become golden and crispy on all sides.
Once the potatoes are tender and crisp, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the roasted Cajun potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
