Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes to clean them. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes in half if they are larger than a golf ball; keep smaller ones whole for even cooking.

Step 4

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to mix the ingredients.

Step 6

Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the olive oil mixture.

Step 7

Spread the potatoes in a single layer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easier cleaning.

Step 8

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes or until they are golden brown and tender on the inside. Stir halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.

Step 9

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 10

Transfer the roasted garlic potatoes to a serving dish, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm.
