Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 g Baby potatoes
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 3 tbsp Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 100 ml Chicken broth (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. If the potatoes are particularly large, cut them into quarters for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl, tossing them to ensure they are evenly coated with the garlic-lemon mixture.
Spread the potatoes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
If using chicken broth for extra flavor and tenderness, drizzle it over the potatoes before placing the baking sheet in the oven.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure they become golden and crispy on all sides.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle them with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
Transfer the garlic lemon potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with additional lemon zest or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside your favorite main course and enjoy!
