Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly but do not peel them. Use a spiralizer to create potato spirals. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can thinly slice the potatoes into rounds using a mandoline slicer.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and sea salt.

Step 4

Add the potato spirals to the bowl and toss well to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoned oil mixture.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned potato spirals in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the potatoes over and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon zest for an added burst of flavor.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a tasty and heart-healthy side dish or enjoy as a wholesome snack on its own.
