Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
Cooking Oil:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 425°F (220°C) to ensure crispy, golden results.
- Slice 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 herbs and spices in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Tumble the potato and onion slices into the seasoned oil, thoroughly coating each piece for maximum flavor absorption.
- Arrange the coated vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding to allow proper roasting.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, rotating the pan midway through cooking to ensure uniform browning.
- Watch for a golden-brown exterior and a tender interior, indicating the potatoes and onions are perfectly caramelized and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes to allow the vegetables to settle and develop additional crispness.
- Serve immediately while hot, presenting a delectable side dish with robust flavor and appealing texture.
Notes
- Pat potatoes dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent soggy results.
- Use a sturdy baking sheet with a rimmed edge to prevent oil from dripping and keep vegetables contained.
- For a low-carb alternative, swap regular potatoes with cauliflower or turnips to reduce starch content.
- Space vegetables evenly without overcrowding to allow proper air circulation and achieve perfect golden-brown edges.
