Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Lightly coat a baking tray with cooking spray oil.

- While the potatoes are baking, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chili powder, paprika, and dried oregano, stirring to coat the onions and garlic with the spices.
