Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat it with cooking spray.
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into cubes and toss them with 2 tbsp olive oil. Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer, make sure they're not overlapping.
- Roast the potatoes in the oven for 40 minutes, flip them halfway through using a spatula.
- To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic for one minute and add the tomato paste, cayenne pepper, paprika and chili flakes. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and chopped cilantro. Give it a stir and add the lemon juice. Serve immediately.
Notes
- It's best to serve these potatoes right away, however, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or the microwave.
- If you like the potatoes spicier, add more cayenne pepper or some harissa. To make less spicy potatoes, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper.
- Don't overcrowd the pan so they potatoes get crispy on all sides.
