Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium lemon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut any larger potatoes in half so they are all a similar size for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with the olive oil, ensuring each potato is well coated.
Step 4
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme. Add the herbs to the potatoes.
Step 5
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl, mixing well.
Step 6
Add salt and black pepper to the potato mixture. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the herbs, garlic, and seasoning.
Step 7
Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded. This helps them roast evenly and become crispy.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork. Stir halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Step 9
Remove the potatoes from the oven. Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the hot roasted potatoes and give them a final toss.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a delicious and heart-healthy side dish.
