Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Vegetables
- 1.5 pounds waxy or all-purpose potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, cut into even wedges or chunks
Marinade
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
- Juice of 1 fresh lemon
- 3 garlic cloves, minced or whole
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Start by peeling the potatoes if you prefer or wash them thoroughly. Cut into even wedges or chunks to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Mix the marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil (natural), fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), dried oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and vegetable broth. Whisk to blend the flavors evenly.
- Coat the potatoes: Toss the potato pieces gently into the marinade, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated with the fragrant mixture for maximum flavor infusion.
- Roast to perfection: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 35-45 minutes until the edges turn golden and crispy while the insides become soft and velvety. Flip halfway through roasting for even browning.
- Serve warm: Once roasted, drizzle any remaining pan juices over the potatoes for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or dill and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to help flavors blend seamlessly.
- Cut potatoes evenly to ensure consistent cooking and crispy edges.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to allow heat circulation and crispiness.
- Flip potatoes halfway through roasting to promote even browning.
- Let the potatoes rest a few minutes after roasting to soak up the flavors fully.
