Red potatoes make a great change in starch for your dinner from the more common Mashed Potatoes and Baked Potato (which are both still very delicious!). With just a little bit of olive oil, some salt and pepper, and some rosemary you have a fantastic side dish that works well with many meals. And since it is both gluten-free and vegan, your sure to please your guests no matter what their dietary needs!
Red Potatoes with Rosemary
I am purposely not including measurements on this. Everything depends on the number of people you are serving. Just eye ball the oil and seasoning and add as much or as little as you think necessary.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
Cut your baby red potatoes into quarters and place in a medium size bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Start with a little bit and go from there — easier to add more than to take away.
Season with salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary. Toss to coat.
Pour potato mixture into a jelly pan coated with cooking spray.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and stir.
Place back in oven and cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
Enjoy!
I make these all the time, they are so good. I love Rosemary!

I can never get enough of roast potatoes. Kenley, some recipes calls for steaming or boiling the potatoes before baking. Is it really necessary?
Danny
Boiling is generally a “quicker” way to cook potatoes which is why I think some recipes call for it. I always pick and choose when I boil any kind of vegetable. Boiling tends to remove nutrients.
Kenley
Got it. Thanks for the tip.
Sincerely
Danny
I mean of course it is not necessary because you didn’t do that but what difference will it make?
Kenley, I love red potatotes! This sounds so delicious 🙂

This is one of my favorite sides–and a bonus that it’s gluten free!
Exactly 🙂 I love how some of the most simplest things are the tastiest!

One of my favorite dishes. I also love this method with sweet potatoes. And carrots. Oh, and onions. Brussels Sprouts. Making me hungry. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
Hehe! Yes, I love roasted vegetables too! So many options, so little time 😉
Kenley
These look delicious! Expertly-roasted potatoes are always a winner, and any leftovers are wonderful, too! They could become a scramble or the filling for a breakfast burrito…. yum!
Thank you! And that’s exactly what we do with our leftovers! We fry them up with breakfast 🙂
Kenley
This looks delicious and easy enough for me to make (hopefully) 🙂
Hehe, they are pretty easy — think you’ll be able to make them just fine and they will turn out great! 🙂
