Ingredients
- 2 pounds small red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the small red potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for added nutrients and fiber. Cut each potato into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until you have a well-blended seasoning oil.
Step 3
Add the potato slices into the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are white and ashed over. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the seasoned potato slices directly onto the grill grates. Grill the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes on each side or until they develop golden brown grill marks and are fork-tender.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle them with fresh lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and freshness.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy grilled potatoes as a perfect side dish for any meal.
