Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and dry them with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

If the baby potatoes are large, cut them in half to ensure even cooking. Otherwise, leave them whole.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut or whole baby potatoes with extra virgin olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well-coated.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are spaced out to promote even roasting.

Step 6

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for approximately 35 minutes or until they are golden brown and fork-tender, stirring halfway through to ensure uniform cooking.

Step 7

Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with lemon zest and freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a side dish for any meal, and enjoy the perfectly roasted, heart-healthy baby potatoes.
