Honey Bacon Roasted Potatoes

Toss the Potatoes:
In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Spread on a Baking Sheet:
Spread the seasoned potatoes onto a lined baking sheet in an even layer.

Add the Bacon:
Scatter the chopped bacon pieces over the potatoes.

Roast:
Roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

Finish and Garnish:
Sprinkle with fresh thyme and Parmesan cheese (if using) and return to the oven for another 5 minutes to melt the cheese and allow the flavors to meld.

Serve:
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
