  4. Drizzle olive oil into the spice blend and stir until a smooth paste forms.
  5. Add the cubed potatoes and toss until coated with the spice mixture.
  6. Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes.
  7. After 15 minutes, stir the potatoes, then sprinkle with minced garlic and cayenne pepper. Return to the oven for 5 more minutes.
  8. Toss the hot potatoes with fresh cilantro and lemon juice before serving.
  9. Serve hot as a snack or with grilled meats.
