Crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle, and fragrant with garlic, rosemary, and thyme — these roasted baby potatoes are the kind of side dish that disappears from the table before anything else. Every ingredient here is completely plant-based by nature, so there's no swapping or substituting required; just real, simple food that happens to be entirely free of animal products. The trick to getting that deep golden crust is roasting the potatoes cut-side down at a high heat without stirring, which lets the flat surface caramelize directly against the pan. Olive oil does all the heavy lifting in place of butter, coating every piece and helping the minced garlic and dried herbs cling to the surface as they roast. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a pop of color and brightness that makes the whole dish look as good as it tastes. This recipe serves four and works beautifully alongside everything from a weeknight grain bowl to a holiday spread.
