Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Red potatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tbsp Lemon zest
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture and flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a zesty seasoning mixture.
Add the cubed red potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Zesty Red Potatoes as a side dish with your favorite main course.
