Dijon-Roasted Purple Potatoes

These wonderful potatoes are oil free crispy baked jewels! You can substitute any kind of potato but the baking time may need to be adjusted.

Dijon-Roasted Purple Potatoes

Ingredients:

2 pounds purple potatoes
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon vegan Worchestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:


Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat. Wash the potatoes, halve them length-wise and cut each half into 4 or more long wedges like steak fries, soak wedges in cold water with about a teaspoon salt for 10-15 minutes, drain and rinse, then pat dry. In a bowl whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, vegan Worchestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes with the Dijon mixture, then evenly spread on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-30 minutes, stirring once or twice, until browned and the tines of a fork easily go through the potatoes.
