These vegan garlic rosemary potatoes are easy to make but full of flavor. Without any added butter or milk, they are sure to please everyone at the table, as they are vegan, gluten free, and DELICIOUS!
Garlic and rosemary potatoes, simply prepared with salt and olive oil. Sounds too easy right? Well this recipe will ensure that you don’t have to deal with getting the lumps out of your potatoes or the potatoes getting sticky and gross. Nothing is worse than the potatoes that turn into glue. I shudder just thinking about that. What a deal breaker.
So that is why I make these potatoes for most of my family celebrations. They are not fussy, don’t require a lot of attention and are ready in 20 minutes. You can literally have your kids make these once they are drained if you chop the garlic and rosemary for them. They are that easy.

November 17, 2014 at 9:43 pmPhew-I’m glad that I’m not the only one who feels like time has been slipping through my fingers as of late! The holidays are definitely my busiest time of year, so that’s probably why. I used to think that all veg-heads made a big ol’ batch of Tofurky, but after becoming one I soon realized that this is not often the case. So endless sides and salad it is! These potatoes seem like a delicious and flavorful addition. Thank you for sharing:-)

November 17, 2014 at 12:26 pmThese look similar to the potatoes we often make in the oven, but we add TONS of butter and garlic, ha. I should healthy ours up a bit I suppose 🙂 This was a good reminder that tasty doesn’t have to be unhealthy!

November 17, 2014 at 11:56 amNo vegans or vegetarians. I’m lactose and gluten intolerant. So I usually don’t eat much at Thanksgiving, which honestly doesn’t bother. I’m one of those “odd” people who actually doesn’t care for the food much at holidays. My family doesn’t make anything I would eat at the holidays, but my boyfriend’s family does, so we usually eat dinner at his house haha. And I usually bring dessert, but this year, I’m thinking about bringing some hummus and veggies, and a big salad. Trying to rub my healthy eating off on others 😉

November 17, 2014 at 12:20 pmChelsea I love this! My step dad was vegan for 2 years and I am mostly vegetarian (but I eat fish) and we all have gluten issues. Needless to say we have had to get pretty creative in the kitchen! Healthy dishes does not have to mean boring or bland! I hope your salad knocks their socks off 🙂 Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Sam
November 17, 2014 at 12:20 pmI normally don’t love potatoes either but the garlic and rosemary just take me somewhere heavenly! I bet this would be amazing in cauliflower mash as well! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

November 17, 2014 at 12:22 pmLauren that is pretty much what I would do as well – that’s where the good stuff is anyway 🙂 I saw you did some baking this weekend – those muffins look delish! It’s rainy and gross here today so thanks for the kind words – I’m going to need them to stay motivated 🙂 Have a great day!
