Friends, I have a serious thing for potatoes. Potatoes are carbs. And carbs are life. It’s a genuine addiction.

If you’re looking to spice things up in the kitchen then this recipe for spicy hasselback potatoes is for you. Not only is it an easy, fun-looking side dish, it is like having all of your potato dreams come true. Crispy edges, tender middles as creamy as mashed potatoes, with butter infused with the flavours of chilli, garlic and herbs.. What more could you ask for?

The key to getting the most out of the spicy, herby garlic butter is to brush the potatoes in the beginning and then brush them again halfway through cooking.

I was so hungry that I polished off all of these myself, so you might want to go ahead and double the recipe. I suspect the leftovers would pack well for lunch, too! Let’s do this!

Ingredients

  • 400 g new potatoes scrubbed clean and patted dry
  • 5 tsp vegan buttery spread
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic, pressed
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1⁄4 tsp salt
  • 1⁄4 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 1⁄4 tsp dried dill
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C, Gas Mark 6. 
  • Wash potatoes (do not peel). Using a sharp knife, carefully make small vertical slits, three quarters of the way down each potato, all the way along. 
  • Put the potatoes in a roasting tray. In a bowl, mix together the melted vegan buttery spread, oil, chilli flakes, paprika, dill, garlic, salt and pepper and brush over each potato with a pastry brush. Place in the oven and roast for around 40 minutes, or until golden and crispy around the edges, brushing them again halfway through cooking.

AD | Chewy, gooey, caramelised biscuit cookies 🍪  With crunchy caramelised biscuit wafer pieces from @loveraw  Makes 8
Ingredients
* 120 g golden caster sugar
* 50 g dark chocolate chunks
* 2 @loveraw caramelised biscuit wafer bars
* 1/8 tsp salt
* 200 g plain flour
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 60 g butter, melted
* 50 g caramelised biscuit spread
* 70 g golden syrup
* 3 tbsp water
Instructions
* Preheat the oven to 180C | gas mark 4. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and set aside.

* In a large bowl, combine the golden caster sugar, chocolate chunks and salt. Sieve in the flour and soda.

* In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit spread, butter and golden syrup. Once combined, add it to the flour mixture. Mix using a wooden spoon and bring the dough together using your hands.

* Divide the dough into 8 golf sized balls, flatten slightly and place on the baking tray. Roughly chop the wafer bars and gently push in a couple of pieces into each cookie. 

* Bake in the middle of the oven for 8-10 minutes. The edges of the cookies should feel firm but the centre will be still quite soft. Leave to cool for 15 minutes.  #biscoff #caramelisedbiscuit #cookies #chewycookies #chocoholic #dessertporn #vegandessert #vegetarianrecipe #recipe #foodporn #vegan #veganfoodshare #veganfoodporn #veganfood #veganrecipes #foodinspo #foodblog #foodie #foodshare #veganmealprep #veganism #foodinsta #fitspiration #cantbelieveitsvegan #cleaneating #diet #mealprepinspo #plantbaseddiet #bvsbackdrops
