Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 large Red onion
- 1 whole Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and chop them into 1-inch cubes. Peel the red onion, then cut it into thin wedges.
Slice the lemon in half, then cut one half into thin slices. Reserve the other half for juicing later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, red onion wedges, and lemon slices.
Peel the garlic cloves and lightly smash them using the flat side of a knife. Add them to the bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and the leaves of one rosemary sprig (remove the leaves from the stem by pulling them downward). Toss everything well to coat evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a large baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer. Make sure the potatoes are in contact with the sheet for better roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the tray from the oven and squeeze the juice of the reserved lemon half over the roasted vegetables. Garnish with the remaining rosemary sprig for an extra touch of aroma.
Serve hot as a side dish to complement your favorite main entrée.
