Ingredients

• 2 pounds baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size to ensure even roasting.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground turmeric, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spice paste.

Step 4

Add the cut potatoes to the bowl and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Step 5

Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to get maximum crispiness.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.

Step 7

Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork—it should be tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Step 8

Remove the potatoes from the oven, transfer to a serving plate, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish alongside your main course.
