These garlic roasted potatoes are simply the best! If you love garlic, you will love this easy vegan recipe. Nutritional yeast gives these potatoes a great cheesy flavor.
We love potatoes at our house. We really do.
We love seasoned roasted potatoes, oven baked French fries, and dairy free scalloped potatoes.
If we have people over, potatoes are probably on the menu! They’re so versatile.
Today I want to share another favorite – these cheesy garlic roasted potatoes. These are cheesy-tasting, but not from dairy cheese! They get their savory flavor from nutritional yeast.
These are made with Yukon Gold potatoes and a good amount of fresh garlic resulting in a deliciously savory and buttery flavor.
Type of Potatoes
I love making roasted potatoes with Yukon Gold potatoes. They have a naturally buttery flavor that’s so delicious. If you don’t have that variety, you could also use red skin potatoes. They would also work well.
Nutritional Yeast
Nutritional yeast is a pretty common ingredient that adds cheesy flavor to vegan recipes. If you can’t find a brand that works for your dietary needs, you can leave it out if you like. Nutritional yeast is gluten free, and a good source of protein, fiber, and B vitamins.
Tips for Success
- Use a rimmed cookie sheet to make sure the oil doesn’t drip into the oven.
- Line the pan with parchment paper to make cleanup easier.
- Stir the potatoes often throughout cooking time to make sure they cook evenly.
Storage
Store leftover potatoes in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for about 4 days. You can reheat them in the microwave or in the oven at 350 degrees. If you use the oven, they will probably be a little crispier than if you use the microwave.
