Vegan breakfast potatoes with garlic and pepper are the perfect way to start your day. This simple yet delicious recipe requires minimal ingredients and effort, but delivers maximum flavor and satisfaction. Whether you're a vegan or simply looking to diversify your breakfast options, these crispy and savory potatoes are sure to become a favorite.
Instructions:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes if desired, although leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.
- Dice the potatoes into evenly-sized cubes, roughly 1/2 inch (1-1.5cm) in size. This ensures they cook uniformly.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is key to getting crispy, golden-brown potatoes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes with the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Toss them well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
- Add the 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well again to distribute the seasonings thoroughly over the potatoes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. Overcrowding can lead to steaming rather than roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Turn the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. To turn, use a spatula to flip the potatoes gently.
- Test the potatoes by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. If the potatoes need more time, continue roasting in 5-minute increments, checking frequently.
- Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven. Let them cool for a minute or two before serving.
- Serve hot, perhaps accompanied by your favorite vegan breakfast items like tofu scramble, avocado slices, or fresh fruit.
