Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes, then cut them in half (or quarters if they are large). Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the red onions into thick wedges and add them to the bowl with the potatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the potatoes and onions. Add the minced garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Toss everything together until the potatoes and onions are evenly coated with the seasoning and liquids.
Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the potatoes are cut-side down for maximum crispiness.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the mixture halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Remove the sheet from the oven once the potatoes are golden and crispy, and the onions are tender and caramelized.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or your favorite entree.
