Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 5 Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Scrub the potatoes clean and cut them into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch cubes or wedges).
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely or crush them using a garlic press.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they become golden and crispy on all sides.
Once the potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving platter and, if desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Roasted Lemon and Garlic Potatoes with your favorite main dish.
