Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size to ensure even cooking.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut potatoes, minced garlic, olive oil spray, salt, and black pepper. Toss the ingredients together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Spray a little more olive oil over the potatoes if necessary to ensure a light coating.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they roast evenly. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
While the potatoes are roasting, chop the fresh rosemary finely.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with chopped rosemary and lemon zest, tossing them gently to distribute the flavors.
Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course.
