Side Dish For Crab Cakes
Ingredients:
– 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
– 1 small red onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.
3. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and lightly golden brown.
4. While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the vegetable mix. In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the diced red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and minced garlic until softened and fragrant. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together gently to combine all the flavors.
6. Cook the potato and vegetable mixture for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning if needed.
7. Remove from heat and transfer the side dish to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
