Ingredients

• 2 pounds baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove dirt and debris.

Step 3

Pat the potatoes dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 4

Cut the larger baby potatoes in half to ensure even cooking, leaving the smaller ones whole.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow for even roasting.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.

Step 9

Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with lemon zest and freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a delicious and crispy side dish.
