Ingredients

• 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup gochujang chili paste
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

1

Set your oven's temperature to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a sheet of parchment paper.

2

In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the halved baby potatoes with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper until every piece is evenly dressed.

3

Arrange the seasoned potatoes in an even, single layer across the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, turning them over at the halfway point, until they are beautifully golden brown and crunchy.

4

While your potatoes are roasting in the oven, take a small bowl and stir together the gochujang, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and sesame oil until the mixture is completely smooth.

5

Once your potatoes have finished roasting, carefully take them out of the oven and let them rest and cool down for roughly 5 minutes.

6

Transfer the warm roasted potatoes into a large clean bowl and pour the prepared gochujang dressing over them. Stir gently to ensure all the potatoes are completely coated in the glaze.

7

Apportion the sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and toasted sesame seeds into the bowl. Give everything a final toss to distribute the garnishes evenly.

8

Serve immediately while warm or enjoy the dish at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this recipe ahead of time for gatherings? Yes! This flavorful recipe works beautifully as one of your go-to Summer Recipes. While the potatoes are crispest right out of the oven, it can absolutely be served at room temperature or chilled as an incredible make-ahead choice for picnics. Is gochujang paste naturally gluten-free and vegan? Gochujang is generally suitable for Vegan Dishes as it consists of fermented chili, rice, and soybeans. However, some traditional brands use wheat flour, so make sure to verify the label if you require strict gluten-free compliance. What types of potatoes work best for achieving maximum crunch? Baby potatoes or fingerlings cut in half work best for these types of Veggie Side Dishes because their high surface-to-flesh ratio ensures maximum crispiness when roasted at high heat.
