Garlic and Herb Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. 2Wash and cut the small potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.
3. 3Crush or finely mince the garlic cloves.
4. 4In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes with the extra virgin olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
5. 5Add the minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley to the potatoes. Grate the lemon zest over the bowl, then season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss to combine.
6. 6Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
7. 7Roast in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time.
8. 8Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper as necessary.
9. 9Serve the roasted potatoes hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
10. 10For an extra touch of flavor, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the potatoes just before serving.
