Roasted Potatoes With Homemade BBQ Sauce

Winter is the perfect time of year to celebrate roasted root
vegetables! The aromas wafting from the oven, and the warmth it gives off in
your home is enough to make you smile and feel cozy inside. The joy you receive
from cooking has a lot to do with your outlook. 

As often as possible, take a
moment to see cooking as a meditative, giving practice and not so much a chore.
Life is all about enjoying the little things and the more we become aware of
exactly what those little things are, the more we appreciate and celebrate
living.

BBQ sauce adds such depth of flavor to dishes, especially
ones that could use some spicing up, like potatoes. Forgo, some of the less than
healthy traditional toppings served on potatoes and instead baste them in a
delicious homemade sauce. Golden, sweet and spicy these potatoes will delight
you.

Cheers to the little things and to wonderful winter BBQ!

2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

1/16 tsp. chipotle pepper, a small pinch (or substitute with

BBQ Roasted Potatoes

Yields: approximately
6 fingerling potatoes, 2 lbs

Ingredients:

2lbs fingerling potatoes, about 6 potatoes

1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

1/8 tsp. sea salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

1/3 cup BBQ sauce

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Line a baking sheet with foil to prevent sticking and for
easy clean-up.

Cut a small strip off the bottom of the potatoes so they lie
flat.

Cut thin slices spaced about ¼ inch apart across each potato
approximately ¾ of the way down, being careful not to cut all the way through
the potato.

Place potatoes onto the baking sheet and coat evenly with
olive oil, salt and pepper.

Bake potatoes for 15 minutes, and then brush the potatoes
with about 2 Tbsp. BBQ sauce.

Continue cooking the potatoes for 10 minutes. Brush with 2
more Tbsp. of BBQ sauce.

Cook potatoes for another 10 minutes or until fork tender.

Brush potatoes with remaining BBQ sauce and serve.
