Ingredients

• 2 pounds baby potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the baby potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes in half, or into quarters if they are larger, to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.

Step 4

Place the cut potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to evenly coat the potatoes with the seasoning.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast and become crispy.

Step 6

Chop the fresh rosemary and thyme, then sprinkle the herbs evenly over the potatoes on the baking sheet.

Step 7

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Halfway through roasting, toss the potatoes gently with a spatula to ensure even browning.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are roasted to a crispy texture, remove them from the oven. Scatter lemon zest over the warm potatoes for a fresh zing just before serving.

Step 9

Serve the low-fat perfectly roasted potatoes immediately as a side dish with your favorite main courses.
