Spring Roasted Potatoes with Tamarind Butter is a quick and flavorful side! Roasted potatoes drizzled with tamarind butter will make any meal so delicious!

I’m so pumped. 

Why you ask? 

Well, this weekend we SPRING forward. Even though we lose an hour of sleep, it’s a small sacrifice because I’m ready for longer days, warmer weather, and the ability to grill out all things. Plus, my friend Katie and I will pick up our Wednesday walks which is the best because it’s a chance to do a mid-week brain dump ( and make a pit stop for wine)!

Spring Roasted Potatoes with Tamarind Butter

See, daylight savings brings so much potential!! Curious, are you a fan? Or just kind of meh about it? The bigger question is, why the hell do we still do daylight savings? 

Anyway, as we gear up for warmer weather I thought we should talk about sides. I have the hardest time coming up with sides to make during the week that aren’t sauteed veggies and a loaf of bread. Do you struggle with sides too? 

Well, my answer to our dilemma are these Spring Roasted Potatoes with Tamarind Butter. Baby roasted potatoes are drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper and roasted at high heat for 40 minutes. Easy enough, right? But! What elevates these taters is this tamarind butter.

You maybe thinking, what the hell is tamarind butter? The base of this butter is tamarind chutney which you can find at your local grocery store next to the curry section. All you do is mix in a few of other ingredients and BOOM! A delicious butter that will elevate any side dish.

Are you ready to spring forward?
