These are the crispy potatoes that I DREAM about throughout the day waiting for dinner… Seriously, I’m not kidding.

However, I will say that I think these Crispy Sheet Pan Roasted Potatoes are the best way to eat them.

Whenever we make dinner, these are the first things to go off my plate. They’re super crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, perfectly salty and have a little bit of flavor + kick from the garlic/pepper! I could seriously eat just these as a meal, and usually you can find Ty + I literally standing over the oven practically burning our mouths as we eat them right off the sheet!
If you’re looking for an easy staple side dish that goes with anything – these are for you! They’re paleo, gluten free, Whole30 friendly + vegan which means pretty much anyone can enjoy them! They’re also great for breakfast alongside eggs + bacon – so you can make a big batch + reheat them in the morning! (If they last that long!)
How do I get crispy roasted potatoes?
Getting crispy potatoes is not as hard as you think! Here are a few things to do for super crispy oven roasted potatoes:
- Cut the potatoes in 1/2 inch small pieces so they can get browned on all edges. Larger pieces will work but will need more time.
- Make sure you evenly coat all the potatoes with olive oil and spices. The olive oil will help the potatoes get crispy when roasting!
- You want your oven to be at a high temp. Roasting the potatoes at 450 for almost an hour is what will give them that perfectly crunchy outside! If your potatoes don’t seem crispy after 40 minutes, maybe give them a few more minutes or broil them. Everyone’s oven is a little different and yours just may require a few more minutes!
