Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb baby potatoes
- 0.75 lb fresh green beans
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in halves (or quarters for larger ones) to ensure even cooking. Trim the ends of the green beans and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, dried thyme, paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
While the potatoes are roasting, toss the green beans in the same mixing bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the remaining minced garlic clove, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.
After the potatoes have roasted for 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the seasoned green beans to the sheet, spreading them out evenly among the potatoes.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy, and the green beans are tender but still slightly crisp.
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the roasted potatoes and green beans immediately after removing them from the oven for added flavor.
Serve the roasted potatoes and green beans warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
