Why use tahini and non-dairy milk for roasting potatoes without oil?

Tahini provides a rich, nutty flavor and a fat source that, when combined with non-dairy milk, helps create a crispy, golden crust on the potatoes during roasting, mimicking the effect of oil.

Can I use different types of potatoes for this recipe?

While red potatoes are recommended for their texture and skin, you can experiment with other waxy potato varieties like Yukon Golds. Starchy potatoes like Russets might yield a different texture.

How do I ensure the potatoes get crispy without oil?

Spreading the potatoes in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets is crucial for even roasting and crisping. Flipping them halfway through baking also helps achieve a uniform golden-brown finish.

What spices are essential for this dish, and can I adjust them?

Onion granules, garlic granules, dried basil, dried dill, and smoked paprika create a balanced, savory flavor profile. You can certainly adjust the quantities or substitute with your favorite herbs and spices to taste.

How should I store leftover roasted potatoes?

Store any leftover perfectly roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in the oven or an air fryer to help restore some crispness.

How to Prepare Perfectly Roasted Potatoes Without Oil [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and add the chopped onion, tahini, and the non-dairy milk. With your clean hands, work the tahini and the milk into the potatoes until they are totally coated.
Add the onion granules, garlic granules, dried basil, dried dill, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, then stir until well combined.
Place the potatoes in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet (or two if your baking sheet isn’t big enough to hold all of the potatoes in a single layer).
Bake for 30 minutes, take out of the oven, flip with a spatula, and put back in the oven for another 30 minutes. Serve hot.
