Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Seasoning

  • 1.5 pounds small to medium baby potatoes, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Herbs and Aromatics

  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

Toppings and Finishing

  • 4 ounces plant-based feta, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and drying your baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking. Toss them generously with olive oil (natural), freshly ground black pepper, and sea salt to coat every bite.
  2. Add Fresh Herbs and Garlic: Sprinkle chopped garlic cloves and fresh thyme and rosemary over the potatoes. The aromatics will infuse during baking, filling your kitchen with a delightful scent.
  3. Bake Until Crisp: Spread the potatoes out on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for about 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through to get an even, golden crust on every piece.
  4. Top with Plant-Based Feta: Once the potatoes are nearly done, crumble plant-based feta over the top and drizzle with a splash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) along with lemon zest (natural) for a refreshing finish. Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to allow the feta to soften and meld with the potatoes.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired. These Healthy Baked Feta Potatoes are best enjoyed immediately for the perfect combination of creamy, crispy, and herbaceous flavors.

Notes

  • Even Sizing: Cut potatoes into similar sizes to ensure uniform baking.
  • Preheat the Oven: A hot oven makes all the difference for crispy outsides and fluffy insides.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Always choose fresh over dried to keep flavors bright and vibrant.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Give potatoes room on the baking sheet to become crispy instead of steaming.
  • Rest Before Serving: Let the baked potatoes sit for a couple of minutes after baking for flavors to settle.
