Categories     Side Dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1,3 kg waxy potatoes, (peeled and cut into equal pieces (ca. 3cm))
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 /2 tablespoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon dried red chilli flakes
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon black cumin seeds ((nigella))
1/2 teaspoon sumac
chopped cilantro (or flat-leaf parsley), (chopped)
lemon wedges ((optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the spices until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the olive oil and spice mix until potatoes are evenly coated (or you can do this directly on the baking sheet).
  • Transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet and spread in an even layer without crowding them. Potatoes roast best if there is some space between them, otherwise they will steam.

  • Before serving, toss with fresh herbs and re-season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve with a lemon wedges for anyone who likes to add a little extra zing! Enjoy!
