Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced fresh rosemary, and minced fresh thyme.
Crush the garlic cloves with the side of a knife to release their flavors, then add them to the bowl. Stir to combine the mixture.
Add the potatoes to the mixing bowl, tossing them to ensure they are evenly coated with the olive oil and herb mixture.
Sprinkle the potatoes with ground black pepper and toss again.
Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
Halfway through roasting, stir the potatoes with a spatula to ensure even cooking and browning on all sides.
Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Grate lemon zest over the hot potatoes, giving them a bright, fresh finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy these perfectly roasted baby potatoes alongside your favorite main dish.
