Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Yukon gold or red potatoes

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (natural)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Garnish (optional)

  • Extra dried oregano or fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized wedges or chunks to ensure uniform cooking for crispy outsides and tender insides.
  2. Mix the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil (natural), fresh lemon juice, crushed garlic, dried oregano, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vegetable broth, sea salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Toss Potatoes in Marinade: Add the cut potatoes into the marinade bowl and gently toss until each piece is fully coated. Let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse deeply.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Spread the potatoes evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 45 to 50 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside with soft interiors.
  5. Final Touches and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle with extra dried oregano or fresh chopped parsley for added color and freshness. Serve warm alongside your favorite dishes.
