Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove dirt and debris.
Pat the potatoes dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Cut the larger baby potatoes in half to ensure even cooking, leaving the smaller ones whole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.
Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with lemon zest and freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
Serve immediately as a delicious and crispy side dish.
