Ingredients:

1 small bag of baby tri-color potatoes, evenly cut into quarters

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 teaspoons of garlic granules

1 tablespoon coconut aminos (or gluten free soy sauce)

1 tablespoon dairy free butter, melted

Lots of salt

1 red onion, sliced

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom of a roasting dish. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients EXCEPT the melted butter. Once seasonings are evenly distributed on potatoes and onions, place in prepared dish.

Step 3

Drizzle melted butter on top. Place in oven for 25 minutes. The key to this dish is stirring everything in 25 min increments until potatoes are cooked through and crispy on the outside. Do this twice through. If potatoes still need more time, reduce to 15 min increments.
