Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium potatoes
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
Garnish
- Fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for crispy, evenly cooked potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and moisture, which helps them bake better.
- Slice Potatoes: Carefully slice the potatoes thinly but do not cut all the way through; leave the bottom intact so they fan out during baking.
- Season Potatoes: Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, making sure it seeps between the slices, then sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, and salt evenly across the potatoes to build layers of flavor.
- Bake: Place the potatoes on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the edges are crisp and the potatoes are tender inside.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs of your choice before serving to add color and fresh aroma.
Notes
- Use a sharp knife or a slicer to make clean, even slices without cutting through the potato.
- Feel free to add other spices like cayenne or chili powder for heat or rosemary for earthiness.
- Serve with your favorite vegan lunch bowl ingredients like sautéed veggies, grains, or beans for a complete meal.
- Make sure potatoes are dry before slicing to prevent slipping and uneven cuts.
- Leftover potatoes can be stored in the fridge and gently reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
