Garlic Roasted Potatoes (gluten free, Whole30)

Jump to Recipe
Garlic Roasted Potatoes in a black skillet

Garlicky roasted potatoes ready in less than 30 minutes. A super simple side dish for any occasion.

Who doesn’t love crispy potatoes loaded with chunks of garlic and finished off with a bit of salt, pepper, and fresh parsley? This is one of those side dish recipes that you’ll want to pull out again and again.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated. My easy dinner formula consists of

#1 – a good quality protein

#2 – two to three plant-based side dishes.

That’s it. I don’t make fancy recipes with tons of ingredients. Just simple, basic real food.

And these garlicky roasted potatoes are a family favorite around here. They go well with just about any meal that I make, and everyone is happy. My biggest challenge is to stop my people from cherry-picking all of the crispy garlicky goodness from the bottom of the pan. 

And they are naturally gluten free, grain free, and Whole30 compliant (as long as you use ghee.)

Cooking tips:

  • I use fingerling potatoes, but you can use any small, new, or baby potato that you like.  
  • The level of garlicky-ness is up to you.  Add more or less depending on your taste.
  • I like parsley on my roasted potatoes, but if that’s not your jam, feel free to omit or to use any fresh herb like rosemary, thyme, basil, or cilantro if you wish. 
  • I highly recommend using a cast iron skillet for this process.  The pan stays nice and HOT which helps get those taters nice and crispy.

there is so much peace and power in intentionally creating a life aligned with your values and heart’s desire 

but it takes radical ownership of EVERY aspect of your life
  • 💪fitness is one of the biggest mood boosters in my life—not because it solves everything, but because it consistently gives me space to come back to myself 💪

💪sometimes the workout is the least important part • the real gift is becoming the kind of woman who keeps choosing herself, over and over again 💪
  • ✨this season has changed me in ways i never expected—and honestly, i think it’s making me a better woman • softer, slower, stronger, and more trusting ✨✨
  • ☀️sunlight sets the tone for my day and for my hormones • i’m 52• moving towards menopause • not doing complicated protocols, hormones or peptides • finding my way through slowing down, getting strong , simplifying, and being intentional with what ACTUALLY supports my body • every woman has a different journey • and i’m figuring out mine 💗
  • 💗 some things are out of our control • AND we have more agency over what happens to us than we think • a beautiful life is built in the habits we repeat 💗
  • • anyone else feel tired of all the noise? • trying to find my place here again • as i navigate big changes in my own life seasons • what actually makes a beautiful life ? 🌈✨
