Ingredients
- 2 pounds small red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and dry the red potatoes thoroughly. Cut the potatoes into quarters, ensuring that all pieces are approximately the same size for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the potato pieces with the extra virgin olive oil, making sure each piece is well coated.
Step 4
Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and salt over the potatoes. Toss again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Stir the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Step 7
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 8
Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired to add a touch of color and freshness.
Step 9
Serve warm as a heart-healthy side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses.
