Ingredients

Scale

Potato Preparation

  • 1.5 lbs baby new potatoes or fingerlings, washed and halved

Seasoning and Flavor

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Sea salt, to taste

Toppings

  • 7 oz plant-based feta, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Optional Garnishes

  • Chopped parsley or chives
  • Extra virgin olive oil (natural), for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and halve the potatoes to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor absorption during roasting.
  2. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil (natural), crushed garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and sea salt until all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Bake Until Tender: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking tray. Roast for about 25 minutes or until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Add Plant-Based Feta and Flavor Boosts: Remove the tray from the oven and crumble the plant-based feta over the potatoes. Drizzle with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and sprinkle lemon zest evenly to brighten the flavors.
  5. Final Bake and Serve: Return the tray to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the feta to soften and meld with the potatoes. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil (natural) before serving.

Notes

  • Choose waxy potatoes like baby new potatoes or fingerlings for the best texture and flavor absorption.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking tray; spreading potatoes in a single layer ensures crisp edges.
  • Add fresh herbs halfway through baking for a fresher aroma and more vibrant flavor.
  • Incorporate lemon zest at the end to preserve its bright, citrus profile.
  • Use high-quality plant-based feta for optimal creaminess and tanginess.
