Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 ½ pounds baby potatoes, cleaned and halved
Seasoning & Garnish
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Season Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until each potato piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes out on the prepared baking sheet in a single even layer, making sure they are not overcrowded to ensure proper roasting and crispiness.
- Roast and Rotate: Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 20 minutes until they are fork-tender and crispy on the outside. Midway through cooking, rotate the baking sheet to promote even browning and cooking on all sides.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the potatoes for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Feel free to swap Italian seasoning with your favorite herbs like rosemary or thyme for a different flavor profile.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or air fryer to maintain crisp texture.
- This recipe pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
