Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds waxy or all-purpose potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch chunks
Parmesan Coating
- 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan (plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1 teaspoon dried herb blend (oregano, thyme, or rosemary)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into evenly sized pieces, approximately one-inch chunks. Leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients if desired.
- Make the Parmesan Coating: In a large bowl, combine the plant-based Parmesan (plant-based), garlic powder (natural), dried herbs, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and toss well until each piece is evenly coated in both oil and the dry mixture.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, keeping pieces apart to allow air circulation for crisp edges.
- Roast Until Golden and Crisp: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C). Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure an even golden crust. Monitor during the last 10 minutes to prevent burning and maximize crispiness.
- Serve Warm: Remove potatoes from the oven once golden and crispy. Let them rest briefly before serving to help the crust set up for better crunch.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly for even cooking and crispiness.
- Maintain a hot oven to achieve the best crust.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Turn potatoes gently when flipping to avoid breaking the crust.
- Serve immediately for optimal crunch, as the crust softens over time.
