Crispy GarlicRoasted Potatoes with Herbs

Step 2: Season the Potatoes
Seasoning mix: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, sweet chili flakes (optional), and a generous pinch of salt. Stir well to make sure everything is evenly mixed.
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to get it hot enough for the potatoes to become crispy.
Coat the potatoes: Add the cut potatoes to the bowl and toss them with the seasoning mixture until all the potatoes are well coated with the flavorful oil. Ensure each potato is covered in the garlic, herbs, and spices for maximum flavor.
Spread the potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes on the tray in a single layer. Make sure they are spread out and not overcrowded; this allows the heat to circulate evenly and ensures the potatoes roast instead of steam.
Prepare the baking tray: Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a small amount of olive oil to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
Add rosemary: Sprinkle the chopped rosemary evenly over the potatoes. The rosemary will release its aroma as the potatoes roast, giving the dish a wonderful herbal flavor.
Roast the potatoes: Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 35-45 minutes. After about 20 minutes, take the tray out and use a spatula to flip the potatoes so they cook evenly on all sides. Roast them until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside.
