– 2 lbs baby potatoes (or any small potatoes)
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or your preferred herb)
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Creating Crispy Parmesan Roasted Potatoes is simple. Here’s how to make them:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures a perfectly crispy finish.
2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and halve the baby potatoes or quarter them if they’re larger.
3. Season: In a large mixing bowl, add the potatoes. Drizzle them with olive oil, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well coated.
4. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned potatoes, tossing again to ensure an even coating.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
6. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes.
7. Flip: After the first 20 minutes, use a spatula to flip the potatoes so they cook evenly on all sides.
8. Continue Roasting: Roast for an additional 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
9. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for color and added flavor.
10. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy hot!
These steps provide a clear guide to achieving the perfect Crispy Parmesan Roasted Potatoes, ensuring they are flavorful and beautifully crisp.
