Ingredients
-
2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
-
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
-
1/4 teaspoon paprika
-
3/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Add the grated Parmesan and toss again to coat evenly.
-
Spread the potatoes cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
-
Roast for 25–30 minutes or until golden and crispy on the bottom and tender inside.
-
For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes, watching closely.
-
Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if using, and serve hot.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for best texture—it crisps up better than pre-shredded.
Make sure potatoes are cut evenly for even roasting.
Don’t overcrowd the pan—this helps them roast instead of steam.
