Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
- 1/2 cup plant-based parmesan (plant-based), divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or thyme), chopped
Instructions
- Prepare and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Parboil the Potatoes: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for about 8 minutes until just tender but not falling apart, ensuring a soft interior after baking.
- Drain and Dry: Drain the potatoes well, then let them sit for a few minutes to dry completely. Removing excess moisture is essential for a crispy crust.
- Toss with Oil and Seasoning: Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil (natural). Sprinkle in garlic powder, salt, pepper, and half of the plant-based parmesan, then toss to coat evenly.
- Coat with Plant-Based Parmesan Crust: Transfer the potatoes to a baking tray lined with parchment. Sprinkle the remaining plant-based parmesan evenly over the top, pressing lightly so it sticks to the potatoes forming a signature crust.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the potatoes are golden brown and irresistibly crispy around the edges.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley for color and serve hot for the best experience.
Notes
- Dry the potatoes well before seasoning to maximize crispiness.
- Use freshly grated plant-based parmesan for better browning and crust texture.
- Do not overcrowd the baking tray; spread potatoes in a single layer to roast properly.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through baking to ensure even browning and crispiness on all sides.
- Add herbs at the end to preserve their freshness and flavor.
