Lemon Roasted Potatoes Recipe - Delicious Mediterranean Side

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 pounds small potatoes, halved
  • 1 lemon juiced and zested
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    This ensures even cooking of the potatoes.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes

    In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

    Toss thoroughly to coat the potatoes evenly.
  3. Arrange in Baking Dish

    Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer in a baking dish.

    This helps them roast evenly and get crispy.
  4. Roast the Potatoes

    Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

    Check for doneness with a fork; they should be tender inside.
  5. Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

    These potatoes pair well with grilled meats or as a side dish.
