   • Drizzle generously with olive oil.

   • Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

   • If using, add fresh herbs on top or scatter around the pan.

4. Roast:

   • Roast in the oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden and crispy and the potatoes are tender inside.

5. Optional Finishing Touch:

   • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking for extra flavor and crunch.

6. Serve:

   • Serve hot as a side dish to chicken, steak, or enjoy as a snack with a dipping sauce like garlic aioli or sour cream.
