Honey Bacon Roasted Potatoes: Crispy, Sweet, & Savory Perfection!

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Add Bacon: Scatter the chopped bacon and optional herbs over the potatoes, mixing lightly so the bacon pieces are distributed evenly.
4. Roast the Potatoes: Spread the potatoes and bacon in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp.
5. Add Honey: Drizzle the honey over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting. Toss gently to coat, then return to the oven to caramelize slightly.
6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot. These potatoes pair beautifully with eggs, grilled meats, or as a savory side for any meal.
