Oven-Roasted Umami Potatoes
These oven-roasted umami potatoes are oh-so simple, yet so delicious! One of the most popular recipes on my instagram in recent years for a good reason!

The crispiness of the potatoes combined with the fresh tomatoes, creamy sauce and spinach is a match made in heaven.
The potatoes are seasoned with sea salt, black pepper, and olive oil for flavor. The dish is then combined with sautéed baby spinach and grape tomatoes, and drizzled with a creamy and flavorful dressing made with tahini, nutritional yeast, and umami seasoning sauce. This dish can be served as a main dish or as a side dish for any meal.
