Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Vegan Parmesan
I love summer. It is one of my favorite seasons! All seasons have their charm, but summer is filled with lots of fresh vegetables and simple healthy cooking, and what can be better than that? Summer has finally come to the northeast, and we are so ready to embrace sunshine, gardening, fresh produce, and outdoor activities, it has been a long time coming. But not to worry, we will enjoy it so much more for its delay and its short duration. One of my favorite summer recipes is this cast-iron Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Vegan Parmesan, which I will show you how to prepare today.
Fingerling Potatoes:
Fingerling potatoes come in a variety of different colors, shapes, and textures, which makes them so much fun. They are also special because of their buttery, nutty, unique taste. The skin is tender which allows you to include the skin, granting you more nutrients without sacrificing taste. However, one of my favorite things about these potatoes is the variety of colors. Who would have thought you could find pink and purple potatoes? My sister loves purple potatoes, probably because purple is one of her favorite colors. We find it so much fun to cut open the potatoes to see what treasured design and color exist inside. Today I am showing you our favorite way to serve these wonderful summer potatoes.
By cutting these fingerlings in half and baking them in a cast iron pan, we can get a really nice crust on the potatoes. This adds a wonderful texture. To add some extra flavor, we use our vegan parmesan cheese. It is a simple almond-based recipe that really takes these potatoes to a new level.

When we have extra time and energy we like to serve these Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with one of our favorite sauces, such as the Vegan Hollandaise Sauce, our Creamy Italian Dressing, or our vegan Holiday gravy.
Here are some of my favorite sauces and gravy recipes:
