Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1 bell pepper cut into small wedges
  • 1/2 red onion cut into small wedges
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • Spread the potatoes, bell pepper and onion on the baking sheet, then drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper and cayenne powder and toss until evenly coasted. Spread them in an even layer on the sheet.
  • Bake 45 to 60 minutes until the vegetables are tender and golden brown on the edges, tossing every 15 minutes for even browning. Serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley or your favorite herbs.
  • NOTE: If you want the potatoes extra crispy, broil the potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes at the end of baking.
