Gochujang Roasted Potatoes

Gochujang Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients (Serves 3–4)

  • 500g baby potatoes (or regular potatoes, cut into chunks)
  • 1½–2 tbsp The Bold Pantry – Main Character Gochujang Ramen Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp melted butter (optional but amazing)
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp honey or brown sugar (optional, for caramelised edges)
  • Salt (only if needed — seasoning already has salt)
  • Fresh spring onions or coriander, to garnish
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Method

1️⃣ Parboil

Boil potatoes in salted water for 12–15 minutes until fork tender.
Drain and let steam dry for 5 minutes (this helps crisping).

2️⃣ Rough Them Up

Shake the potatoes in the pan slightly to rough up the edges — this creates crispy ridges.

3️⃣ Season

In a large bowl, mix:

  • Olive oil
  • Melted butter
  • Garlic
  • Gochujang seasoning
  • Honey (if using)

Toss potatoes until fully coated.

4️⃣ Roast

Spread on a baking tray (don’t overcrowd).
Roast at 200°C (fan) for 30–40 minutes.
Flip halfway through.

They should be:

  • Deep golden
  • Slightly caramelised
  • Crispy at the edges

5️⃣ Finish

Sprinkle:

  • Extra seasoning (optional)
  • Sesame seeds
  • Fresh spring onions
