Easy, healthy, low calorie and virtually fat-free! It’s all about the simple things in life today. Nothing beats Crispy Roasted Potatoes to serve alongside your vegan beef, vegan turkey style roast and maybe some roasted red cabbage too. Since the creation of my completely oil-free Loaded Taco Fries, I have been wanting to experiment a little more with using aquafaba as a substitute for oil when roasting.
Well I finally got around to it and these Healthy No Oil Crispy Roasted Potatoes happened. Healthy roasted potatoes I love traditionally cooked roast potatoes a lot and I am not going to lie, these don’t taste quite as good as those. After all, as unhealthy as using copious amounts of oil is, it tastes pretty good when roasted up with the humble spud. Plus if you are anything like me, you can put those calories you saved on the potatoes to good use when it comes to dessert.
And your oven will thank you muchly too! Oily things splatter EVERYWHERE and I’m sure you are all aware of how thoroughly awful cleaning ovens is. I literally have to not show mine ever in my recipe videos because I hate cleaning it and if you so much as caught a glimpse I might die of embarrassment. Ingredients These Healthy No Oil Crispy Roasted Potatoes are super simple to make.
All you need is a rimmed baking tray or roasting pan and just 3 ingredients plus some some salt and pepper. Aquafaba is the liquid that is in a can of chickpeas. When you use chickpeas save it to use in all kinds of recipes such as these oil-free roasted potatoes and vegan baking. It freezes well so if you open a can and have no need for the aquafaba save it for a later date. How to make oil-free roasted potatoes It’s such an easy process too.
Check out my video to see exactly how, but basically, you boil the potatoes for a bit, drain and allow to steam dry, Then drizzle over aquafaba and sprinkle on semolina. Shake well to rough ’em up, then roast. Flip, roast some more, then EAT! The roughing up is an essential part of the process.
It creates a thick slurry of aquafaba, soft potato and semolina which coats and clings and crisps up beautifully. It also makes them turn gloriously golden as all perfect roast potatoes should be!
