3-Ingredient Roasted Parmesan Pesto Potatoes
Description
3-Ingredient Roasted Parmesan Pesto Potatoes combine red potatoes with basil pesto and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a straightforward roasted side. The potatoes are washed and quartered, then tossed in basil pesto to evenly coat the surface. After an initial 20-minute roast at 400°F, the potatoes are removed briefly to be sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, then returned to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes. This allows the Parmesan to form a golden, slightly crispy layer while the potatoes become tender inside.
The final dish features tender potatoes with a herby, savory crust from both the pesto and Parmesan. The seasoning is simple, enhanced with salt and black pepper to taste, providing balance without overshadowing the ingredients. Roasting at high heat results in a nice crisp on the edges while keeping the insides soft and creamy.
Served warm, these potatoes make a good accompaniment for roasted meats, grilled dishes, or a vegetarian meal. They provide a flavorful and easy way to elevate simple roasted potatoes without complex preparation or ingredients.
