Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs baby potatoes
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 medium lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the potatoes into quarters, ensuring they are of relatively equal size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the quartered potatoes, extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped fresh rosemary, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Transfer the seasoned potatoes to a baking sheet, spreading them out into a single layer for even roasting.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork. Stir the potatoes halfway through the cooking process to ensure even browning.
While the potatoes are roasting, zest the lemon and set the zest aside.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the lemon zest over the top, tossing to combine.
Serve the roasted rosemary potatoes hot as a delicious side dish for your Mediterranean-inspired meal.
