Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes (or fingerling potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (adjust for spice level)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (preferably low-sodium or omit if necessary)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added nutrients.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes in half (or quarters for larger ones) to ensure even roasting.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt (if using). Mix well to form a spice mixture.
Step 5
Add the halved potatoes into the bowl and toss them well until all pieces are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 6
Arrange the seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This will help them roast evenly.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 2–3 minutes.
Step 9
Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy spicy roasted potatoes!
