It’s impossible not to love our Roast Potatoes with Herbs and Lemon. We’ve braised them in a herby, lemony garlic stock, and then baked them until they’re fluffy and tasty in the middle. They’re not crunchy all over like traditional roasties, but you won’t miss it – we’ve baked them to the perfect level of crispiness, without added fats!

We love finding new ways to enjoy potatoes at Pinch of Nom. While it’s difficult to improve upon Roast Potatoes’ crispy perfection, we’ve given them a run for their money with this Roast Potatoes with Herbs and Lemon recipe.

Unlike traditional roasties, these flavoursome spuds aren’t crunchy all over. By braising them in a herby lemon and garlic stock first, we’ve guaranteed they’re softened and packed with moreish, citrusy flavours throughout.

Herby, fresh and light, they’re a delightful accompaniment alongside fragrant meat dishes like our slimming-friendly Chicken Souvlaki and Tzatziki. They’re vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free (when made with a gluten-free stock cube), so they’re perfect for plant-based feasts too!
