Ingredients
- 2 pounds small red potatoes
- 6 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse and scrub the red potatoes, leaving the skin on for extra fiber, and chop them into quarters.
Step 3
Peel the garlic cloves, then lightly smash them with the flat side of a knife to release their natural oils without fully crushing them.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the quartered potatoes, smashed garlic cloves, olive oil, fresh rosemary, ground black pepper, and salt. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated.
Step 5
Spread the potato mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure the potatoes are in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender. Stir them halfway through cooking for even roasting.
Step 7
Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle with lemon zest and fresh parsley for an added zing and freshness.
Step 8
Serve the roasted garlic potatoes hot as a side dish or a delightful main for a heart-healthy meal.
