Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large Russet or Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil (natural)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Chili Powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh Cilantro, chopped
  • Optional: Lime zest

Optional Variations

  • Cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños for spice
  • Fresh oregano or thyme for herb infusion
  • Smoked Paprika (natural) instead of regular paprika for smoky flavor
  • Melted vegan cheese (plant-based)
  • Lime zest for citrus brightness

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel if preferred. Cut them into evenly sized cubes or wedges to ensure uniform cooking. Soak the cut potatoes briefly in cold water to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crisper texture when roasted.
  2. Season the Potatoes: Drain and pat the potato pieces completely dry to avoid steaming. Place them in a large bowl and toss with olive oil (natural), chili powder (natural), ground cumin (natural), garlic powder (natural), paprika (natural), onion powder (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and black pepper. Make sure each piece is coated evenly for maximum flavor.
  3. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow proper air circulation for even crisping.
  4. Roast to Crispy Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking. Bake until the potatoes are golden brown with crispy edges and tender inside.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on top. Optionally, grate some lime zest over the potatoes for a citrusy brightness before serving. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the best roasting results.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly after soaking to enhance crispiness.
  • Roast at a high temperature of 425°F to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior.
  • Flip the potatoes once halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
  • Use enough olive oil (natural) to coat the potatoes well so spices adhere and for a golden finish.
