Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red skin potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Rinse and scrub the red skin potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized quarters to ensure even roasting.
Place the cut potatoes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl of potatoes.
Add the fresh rosemary and thyme to the bowl, making sure to remove the leaves from their stems and roughly chop them before adding.
Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to the bowl.
Toss everything together in the bowl until the potatoes are well coated with the olive oil, herbs, and spices.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Stir them halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the roasted potatoes as a garnish.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Mediterranean diet-inspired roasted red skin potatoes!
