Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes and carrots.
  3. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil. Add the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for crispier results.
  5. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender and the carrots are slightly caramelized.
  6. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispy potatoes, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them completely.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, making it a good option if you are looking into healthy side dishes or meal planning.
  • This side pairs well with chicken, turkey, or beef main courses.
