Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs 1 kg potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
- 1 red bell pepper cut into cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Juice of ¼ lemon
- For the spice mix:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- To finish:
- 2 oz 60 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- Juice of ¼ lemon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes and red bell pepper with 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and the juice of ¼ lemon until well coated.
- Grease a large, flat baking tray with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the potato and pepper mixture evenly on the tray.
- Roast in the oven on the middle shelf for 25 minutes.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the spice mix by combining garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, cinnamon, and ground pepper in a small bowl.
- After 25 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the potatoes and peppers. Use a spatula to stir them around, ensuring they are well coated with the spices.
- Return the tray to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges and soft in the middle.
- Once done, finish the dish with a drizzle of lemon juice, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley on top.
Notes
For a little extra flavor, try adding a pinch of chili powder to the spice mix for some heat. You can substitute the feta cheese with a dairy-free alternative if desired.
