Whole30 Crispy Roasted Potatoes are a delightful addition to any meal, providing a satisfying crunch while adhering to the Whole30 programme. Whether you choose to use an air fryer or the oven, the result is irresistibly golden and crispy potatoes that are easy to prepare.
To achieve the perfect texture, start with good-quality potatoes, such as Maris Piper or King Edward. After cutting them into even-sized chunks, parboil the potatoes briefly to soften them, then drain and allow them to steam dry. This step is key to achieving that lovely crispiness.
For the air fryer, toss the potatoes in a little olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and your favourite herbs—rosemary or thyme work wonderfully—and then cook for around 20 minutes at 200°C, shaking them halfway through. If using the oven, spread them evenly on a baking tray and roast at the same temperature until they are golden brown and crunchy, usually about 30-35 minutes.
Serve these crispy potatoes as a side dish or enjoy them on their own, dipped in a Whole30-approved salsa or guacamole. They’re not just a treat for your taste buds but a hearty, wholesome option that fits perfectly within the Whole30 guidelines.
