Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly but do not peel them. Use a spiralizer to create potato spirals. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can thinly slice the potatoes into rounds using a mandoline slicer.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and sea salt.
Step 4
Add the potato spirals to the bowl and toss well to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoned oil mixture.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned potato spirals in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the potatoes over and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon zest for an added burst of flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a tasty and heart-healthy side dish or enjoy as a wholesome snack on its own.
