- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 35 minutes
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 6 servings 1x
- Category: Sides & Sauces
Ingredients
- 2lbs potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
- 2 tablespoons homemade paprika seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the potato chunks. Ensure they are washed and dried thoroughly. Leaving the skins on adds texture and flavor to the dish.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, then sprinkle the homemade paprika seasoning and chopped rosemary evenly over them. Use your hands or a spatula to toss the potatoes until they are well coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. This ensures that they cook evenly and become crispy on all sides.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. To ensure even cooking, flip the potatoes halfway through the roasting time.
- Once the potatoes are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired. These roasted paprika potatoes are best served hot, alongside your favorite main dish or as a delicious side dish for any occasion.
- For an extra burst of flavor and freshness, garnish the roasted paprika potatoes with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
