Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes. In a large prep bowl, combine potatoes, extra virgin olive oil, turmeric powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Toss them until potatoes are well coated with the seasonings.
Spread the potatoes onto a sheet pan in a single layer. Bake them in the oven for 40-45 minutes.
While potatoes are roasting, start making toasted cumin seeds. Place cumin seeds in a frying pan. Cook (toast) over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until aromatic and slightly browned on the outside. Set aside.
Take the potatoes out of the oven and immediately squeeze lemon juice over. Give a quick toss.
Serve with toasted cumin seeds on top. Squeeze more lemon juice if you like.
