Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Thoroughly wash and scrub the baby potatoes. If the potatoes are larger, cut them in halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.

Step 4
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting.
Step 6
Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crispy and golden on the outside and tender on the inside.
Step 7
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 8
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Roasted Cajun Potatoes!
