Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned potatoes out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking pan. Ensure they are arranged in a single layer for even roasting.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure they become golden and crispy on all sides.
Step 7
Once the potatoes are tender and crisp, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the roasted Cajun potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy!
