Step by step

Preheat your oven to 400°F and grease a large rimmed baking tray with non-stick cooking spray.
Slice the washed baby potatoes in half and place them in a large bowl. Toss with avocado oil, minced garlic, chopped herbs, and seasonings until well coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking tray. Bake for 45-55 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and fork tender.
Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with Parmesan and fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy!

Tips for best results

Scrub off any dirt from the potatoes and pat them dry before coating with oil.
Keep the skin on – it crisps beautifully and holds all the flavor.
Experiment with different seasoning combinations to suit your taste, like cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Fresh herbs are like oregano, rosemary, and thyme are ideal, but dried herbs work too (1 teaspoon each).
Avocado oil has a higher smoke point, but olive oil works as well.

Variations

if you can’t find baby potatoes, try red potatoes or yukon gold potatoes cut into bite size pieces instead
add cayenne pepper for a kick
sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese before baking
add lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving
increase the garlic and finish with a generous amount of Parmesan

Serving suggestions

Roasted baby potatoes are incredibly versatile and can be served with a variety of main dishes. They pair well with steak, baked chicken, pork chops, or salmon. You can even serve them on the side with eggs for breakfast!

For a vegetarian option, serve them alongside a salad or roasted vegetables. The savory and crispy potatoes complement almost any meal, making them a go-to side dish for any occasion.

Storage

Allow the roasted baby potatoes to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

To reheat, spread the roast potatoes on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.

You can also reheat them in a microwave, but they might lose some of their crispiness.
