Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
Seasonings:
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Cooking Liquid:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet and heat the oven to a high temperature of 425F (220C) to ensure crisp, golden results.
- Cut potatoes and onions into uniform pieces to promote even cooking and consistent texture.
- Create a flavor base by combining olive oil with a blend of seasonings, thoroughly coating the vegetables to maximize taste absorption.
- Arrange the seasoned vegetables in a single layer across the baking sheet, ensuring maximum surface exposure for optimal crispiness.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven, allowing the vegetables to roast and develop a rich, caramelized exterior.
- Midway through cooking, carefully rotate the vegetables to promote uniform browning and prevent burning.
- Check for doneness after 30-35 minutes, looking for a golden-brown color and a crisp exterior with a tender interior.
- Remove from the oven and let the vegetables rest for a brief moment to settle their flavors and textures.
- Transfer to a serving dish while still warm, allowing the aromatic seasonings to entice diners.
Notes
- Maximize crispiness by cutting potatoes into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and golden edges.
- Prevent sticking by using parchment paper or a well-seasoned baking sheet, allowing potatoes to develop a perfect crisp exterior.
- Enhance flavor variety by experimenting with different herb combinations like rosemary, thyme, or smoked paprika for a unique taste profile.
- For a healthier version, use avocado oil instead of olive oil, which has a higher smoke point and adds a subtle nutty undertone.
