Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 grams baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic cloves, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Place the potatoes onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are spread out in a single layer for even roasting.
Lay the sprigs of fresh rosemary on top of the potatoes for added aroma while baking.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and discard the rosemary sprigs.
Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or as part of a Mediterranean-inspired meal.
