Easy Crispy Roasted Potatoes

Easy crispy roasted potatoes made with a handful of spices and avocado oil. No boiling required!

I love making a batch of these potatoes on meal prep days as they are great to toss into different meals for additional hearty flavors and nutrients. Furthermore, they are made with a handful of simple spices making it so easy to customize!

In the spring and summer I love keeping it simple and adding fresh lemon juice. Meanwhile, in the fall and winter I go heavy on the herbs and usually pair with a dipping sauce (or add to cozy grain bowls).

Moral of the story: potatoes are a big deal in our house and these crispy roasted potatoes are made year round. How could they not be?! If you also have a house of potato lovers, be sure to check out these smashed potatoes and these guacamole stuffed potato skins.

Crispy roasted potatoes ingredients

• Fingerling potatoes
• Avocado oil
• Salt
• Garlic & onion granules
• Black pepper

Optional ingredients;

• Fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme or dried herbs such as herb de provence.
• Large sea salt flakes

How to make crispy roasted potatoes

1. First wash and dry potatoes well. Then cut into quarters or sixths (depending on the size of your potatoes).
2. Place cut potatoes into mixing bowl with oil and seasonings and toss until coated.
3. Place directly onto a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, tossing at the 15 minute mark.
4. Remove from oven and toss with additional fresh or dried herbs and/or sea salt flakes if desired.

What to serve roasted baby potatoes with

Roasted baby potatoes are a great side dish, but also make for a great addition to most grain bowls, wraps, and salads. Here are a few of my favorite dishes to add roasted potatoes to;

• Tofu and Vegetable Hummus Wraps (GF)
• Filling Summer Salad
• Baked Tofu Scramble with Veggies and Crispy Potatoes
• Vegan Breakfast Enchiladas

Substitutions

Fingerling potatoes: substitute with red or yellow baby potatoes.

Avocado oil: extra virgin olive oil also works or substitue with an infused oil for additional flavors.

Salt: whatever salt you have on hand will work. Iodized, Himalayan pink sea salt, or vegan truffle salt are my go-to's.

Garlic granules: for a more pungent garlic flavor, swap with minced or crushed garlic.

Onion granules: substitue with more garlic, minced onion or chopped shallots.

Black pepper: freshly ground black pepper is delightful on these potatoes, but limit if you are sensitive to heat.

Variations

• Salty: add a generous sprinkle of sea salt flakes to the potatoes after baking.
• Spicy potatoes: add another scant ¼ teaspoon of black pepper and/or cayenne pepper, chili powder, or red pepper flakes.
• Cheesy roasted potatoes: add your favorite vegan cheese to the potatoes for the last few minutes of baking, then broil for 2-3 minutes (or until the cheese has melted).
• Fresh herbs: bake the potatoes with 3-4 sprigs of thyme and/or rosemary. Alternatively, add fresh chopped cilantro or parsley with a spritz of lemon or lime juice after the potatoes have cooked.
• Dried herbs: toss the baked potatoes in Italian seasoning or everything but the bagel seasoning.

Recipe tips

• Use fresh potatoes (fingerling, baby red, or baby yellow) for best results.
• After washing the potatoes, dry thoroughly to help the oil and seasonings stick to the potatoes.
• The smaller the potatoes are cut, the crispier they will get. I like to cut each fingerling potato into at least fourths.
• If using dried herbs, add a pinch at a time and taste as you go to ensure you achieve the desired flavor. *I like doing the pinches to further crush the herbs as well.

Storage

The potatoes are at their crispiest fresh out of the oven. Store any leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat, add to a skillet with a tiny splash of oil or microwave until warm. Do not freeze.
