Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Baby Potatoes
- 6 Garlic Cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half for even cooking.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme.
Add the black pepper and lemon zest to the bowl, and toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Once done, remove from the oven and let the potatoes cool slightly before serving. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary, considering low sodium guidelines.
