Ingredients

• 2 pounds small red potatoes
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon salt-free seasoning blend
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into quarters or bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are evenly sized for uniform roasting.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, garlic powder, ground black pepper, lemon zest, and salt-free seasoning blend.

Step 5

Add the chopped potatoes to the oil and herb mixture in the bowl. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well-coated.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space around each piece to allow for even cooking.

Step 7

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 8

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.

Step 9

Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving platter and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your heart-healthy batatas assadas as a nutritious accompaniment to your favorite main course.
