Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, so they're all relatively uniform in size.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife to release their flavor, but leave them whole to avoid burning during roasting.
Step 5
Add the garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme to the bowl with the potatoes. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, then toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with herbs and seasoning.
Step 6
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there's space between the potato pieces to allow them to crisp up properly.
Step 7
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Step 8
Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the lemon zest over them while they are still hot. Toss gently to coat.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish, garnished with extra rosemary or thyme sprigs if desired.
