Who says that vegan food cannot be beautiful and elegant? Well you haven’t tried my roasted purple potatoes with lemon and thyme. This makes an excellent side dish or main course with a side salad. The recipe is super easy.

All you would need to do is preheat your oven at 35o. Roasting time 1 hour or until potatoes are tender.  
You will need:

4 petite purple potatoes, sliced, read below how to slice the potatoes or you can skip this step.

1 medium lemon, sliced into circles about 1/2 inch thick

2 sprigs thyme 

olive oil

Mediterranean course sea salt

DIRECTIONS:

Using a sharp kitchen knife, carefully start making a series of vertical cuts width-wise through the potato, making sure not to cut all the way through – cuts should only be 3/4 of the way through the potato. 

Next, slice lemons into circles about a half inch thick. Place the lemons on parchment paper on a cookie sheet  and add the potatoes on top of the lemons, drizzle the lemons and the potatoes with olive oil generously, season with the Mediterranean Sea salt and top with thyme sprigs. 

Roast for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender. Once cooked, remove from oven. Set aside to cool a bit.  Transfer everything onto a plate and drizzle with olive oil and a little lemon juice.
