Ingredients
- 500 g Baby potatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Chopped parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Thoroughly wash the baby potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Cut the larger potatoes into halves or quarters to ensure all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 5
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Step 6
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice for a burst of freshness.
Step 9
Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish before serving.
Step 10
Serve the Vegan Cajun Potatoes hot as a side dish or enjoy them as a spicy snack.
