Ingredients

  • 500 g new potatoes
  • 2 tsp sunflower oil
  • Generous amount of salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 6 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 20 g fresh basil chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180c. Place your oil in a roasting tray and leave that in the oven while it preheats to heat the oil.
  2. Boil your new potatoes for 15 minutes until they’re ever so slightly tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Drain your potatoes and transfer them to your roasting dish. Toss in your salt and pepper and toss the potatoes to evenly coat in the oil. Lightly prick the surface of each potato with a fork (just once or twice per potato).
  4. Place the potatoes in the oven for 30-35 minutes.
  5. A few minutes before your potatoes are ready, heat a medium frying pan on medium heat, add your vegan butter. Heat until melted, then add your chopped garlic and basil. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove your potatoes from the oven, pour roughly half of your garlic herb butter over your potatoes. Toss the potatoes once again to combine. Return to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes until your potatoes are golden and crispy. Remove your potatoes from the oven and pour over your remaining garlic butter before serving.

Serve and enjoy!
