Ingredients

• 2 lbs baby potatoes
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 medium lemon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into quarters, ensuring they are of relatively equal size for even cooking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the quartered potatoes, extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped fresh rosemary, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 5

Transfer the seasoned potatoes to a baking sheet, spreading them out into a single layer for even roasting.

Step 6

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork. Stir the potatoes halfway through the cooking process to ensure even browning.

Step 7

While the potatoes are roasting, zest the lemon and set the zest aside.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the lemon zest over the top, tossing to combine.

Step 9

Serve the roasted rosemary potatoes hot as a delicious side dish for your Mediterranean-inspired meal.
