Ingredients

• 2 lbs Red potatoes
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tbsp Lemon zest
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture and flavor.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a zesty seasoning mixture.

Step 4

Add the cubed red potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges.

Step 7

Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Zesty Red Potatoes as a side dish with your favorite main course.
