Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss 1.5 lbs halved baby red potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and golden, stirring halfway.
  2. Step 2: While potatoes roast, toast 2 tbsp sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant, then set aside.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp Whole30-compliant Dijon mustard, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tbsp olive oil until emulsified.
  4. Step 4: Transfer the warm roasted potatoes to a large bowl. Pour the citrus dressing over them and toss gently to coat.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 thinly sliced green onions, and the toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
