Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 12 small potatoes, sliced into rounds
Seasoning Mix
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Coat Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced potato rounds with olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated to help crisp during baking.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Mix well so every slice is covered thoroughly with the seasoning blend.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the coated potato slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap for even cooking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through cooking, flip the potato rounds carefully to ensure both sides become golden and crispy.
- Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm as a tasty snack or side.
Notes
- You can substitute sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter flavor and additional nutrients.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan on top halfway through baking.
- To make these gluten-free, ensure your Parmesan cheese and seasonings are certified gluten-free.
- Adjust seasoning quantities to taste, especially salt and paprika, for preferred flavor intensity.
- Serve with a dipping sauce like sour cream or aioli for added indulgence.
