Ingredients
– 2 pounds baby potatoes (or any small potatoes)
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon sea salt
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Making Roasted Lemon-Pepper Potatoes is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. If they are larger, cut them in half or quarters for even cooking.
3. Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, sea salt, and garlic powder (if using).
4. Coat the Potatoes: Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
5. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
6. Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.
7. Check for Doneness: The potatoes are done when they are fork-tender and have a crispy exterior.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
By following these steps, you’ll create Roasted Lemon-Pepper Potatoes that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
