Whole Food Ingredients
This is an easy recipe for potatoes roasted in the oven without any oil and only 5 simple ingredients!
- potatoes – I used small-sized gold potatoes, but any small-sized potatoes will work, like small red potatoes or baby gold. If your potatoes are bigger just cut them lengthwise. I give them a rinse before cutting to remove any dirt left.
- basil – adds a ton of flavor and a touch of herb
- garlic powder – adds great flavor and aroma
- onion powder – just like garlic powder gives an appetizing flavor
- paprika – regular or smoked are both great and always taste amazing on top of potatoes
- salt – I used Himalayan salt
