Ingredients

½ teaspoon black or purple peppercorns
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
¾ - 1 teaspoon Silk, Marash or Aleppo chile flakes
1 ½ pounds yellow potatoes, scrubbed, patted dry and cut into 1 1/4-inch chunks
⅔ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, parsley and/or dill

Directions

Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a mortar and pestle to pound peppercorns to a semi-coarse texture. Transfer to a small bowl and mix in garlic powder, sugar and salt. Set next to the stove.
Lightly crush coriander and cumin seeds with the mortar and pestle. Transfer to a large skillet, add oil and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chile flakes and cook until the spices smell toasty, 5 to 10 seconds. Remove from heat and add potatoes. Gently stir to coat, then gradually stir in the pepper mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spreading the potatoes in an even layer.
Roast the potatoes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Gently stir in herbs. Serve immediately.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
