Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

3. Rub with olive oil and season generously with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

4. Bake skin-side up for 35–40 minutes, until the skin is golden and crisp.

5. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for that extra homemade touch.
