Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, and cut them into quarters or eighths, depending on their size.
In a large bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the olive oil mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Spread the coated potatoes evenly in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Pour the low-sodium vegetable broth over the potatoes to help them cook evenly and infuse flavor.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then stir and turn them to ensure even browning.
Continue roasting for another 25 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy oven-roasted Greek potatoes warm.
