Smoky Roasted Potatoes

April 18, 2017 by christine

The last few days have been a drag for the pups, not enough walks with all the wind and rain. There has been a lot of pouting.

And nasty looks.

For some reason I have become obsessed with smoky flavors with all the rain, there’s something savory and comforting about a hot, smoke-seasoned dish. Where has liquid smoke been all my life? It works wonderfully blended into this creamy hemp sauce to coat roasted potatoes.

Smoky Roasted Potatoes

  • 6 medium potatoes, chopped to 1 ½” to 2” wedges
  • 1/3 cup hemp hearts
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp. liquid smoke (or more if you like it strong)
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1/3 cup water, as needed
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Place hemp seeds, smoked paprika, liquid smoke, rosemary, garlic, and water into a blender and blend to a smooth and creamy texture.
  3. Toss blended mixture in a large bowl with potatoes to coat.
  4. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick mat.
  5. Bake for 35 minutes or to desired texture with crispy edges and creamy middles.
  6. Serve and enjoy!

It’s kind of fun and therapeutic tossing this thick and gloppy sauce in a large bowl.

After 35 minutes, the texture was perfect for me – crispy, but smooth and creamy middles.

I made it a fun finger meal with carrot sticks and Ikea veggie balls.

The flavor is perfect with a satisfyingly savory smoky flare while being comforting and hearty. But not greasy or over-cooked.

The sauce could work well for smoky baked fries too. Not a bad way to fight gloomy weather blues!

    Smoky flavors are universally appealing, I think! That’s really why bacon is so popular, and why it’s so easy to satisfy that craving with any vegetables or protein plus a dash of liquid smoke. I’d opt for your potatoes over that greasy stuff any day.

      Agreed and so great it’s an easy flavor to bring to plant based foods. Thanks and agreed, I can’t stand potatoes that are too greasy.

    I love using liquid smoke in my savory recipes. Those potatoes sound amazing! I hope the weather gets better soon, your poor pups look so bored.

      Me too, have been using it a lot lately. Thanks and the leftovers were great too reheated and chilled on salads.
