Ingredients

• 2 pounds red potatoes
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly. Do not peel, as the skin adds extra fiber and nutrients.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in diameter, to ensure even roasting.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes, extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Toss the potatoes until they are all coated evenly with the oil and seasoning mixture.

Step 6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and promote even roasting.

Step 7

Spread the seasoned potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the sheet to ensure a nice roast with crispy edges.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 9

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish or add to salads and grain bowls for a nutritious boost.
