Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents the potatoes from sticking and helps them crisp up.
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with the olive oil until well coated. This helps the seasonings stick and gives the potatoes a nice, golden crust.
- Add the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they're not overlapping, as this can prevent them from crisping up.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with additional nutritional yeast if desired. This adds an extra burst of cheesy flavor.
Tips
- For variations, you can try adding other seasonings like dried herbs, cayenne pepper, or even a dash of soy sauce for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a creamier texture, consider parboiling the potatoes before baking.
