Crispy roasted potatoes and tender black-eyed peas with bell peppers and savory spices make this hearty Southern dish a satisfying breakfast or brunch favorite.

# Ingredient List:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 cups cooked black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
02 - 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
03 - 1 medium yellow onion, diced
04 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
05 - 1 green bell pepper, diced
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Seasonings

07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
09 - ½ teaspoon ground cumin
10 - ½ teaspoon dried thyme
11 - ½ teaspoon salt

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F.
02 - On a large baking sheet, toss diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the salt, and half the black pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast for 15 minutes.
03 - In a large bowl, combine roasted potatoes, black-eyed peas, onion, bell peppers, garlic, remaining olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, thyme, remaining salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
04 - Remove potatoes from oven. Add the vegetable and seasoning mixture to the baking sheet, tossing everything together evenly.
05 - Return to oven and roast for another 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until potatoes are golden and vegetables are tender.
06 - Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, and serve hot.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 45 minutes but tastes like you fussed over it all morning.
  • The smoked paprika and cumin create a depth that transforms humble vegetables into something crave-worthy.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully, so batch cooking this on Sunday means easy wins all week.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the baking sheet on that first roast—potatoes need space around them to crisp up, so if they're packed in they'll steam instead.
  • Taste a potato at the 30-minute mark; if your oven runs cool, give it another few minutes rather than serving anything undercooked.
03 -
  • Cut your vegetables roughly the same size so everything roasts at the same pace—potato cubes should be about the same size as your pepper chunks.
  • Don't be shy with the salt; roasted vegetables need more seasoning than you'd expect because heat concentrates flavors.
