Ingredients
For the Roasted Potatoes
- 1 pound potatoes (Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or a mix)
- ½ cup avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (or paprika)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional garnish: Fresh dill or parsley
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven – Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
-
Prepare the Potatoes – Wash, dry, and cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks for even cooking.
-
Season the Potatoes – In a large mixing bowl, combine avocado oil, turmeric, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the potatoes in the spice mixture until they are fully coated.
-
Arrange on a Baking Sheet – Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding for even roasting.
-
Roast the Potatoes – Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crisping. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
