Italian Roasted Zucchini and Potatoes
Description
Italian Roasted Zucchini and Potatoes is prepared by cutting peeled potatoes and trimmed zucchini into wedges and optionally slicing onions. These vegetables are tossed with olive oil, salt, oregano, chopped rosemary, and minced garlic to create a well-coated mixture. Baking at 400°F (200°C) allows the potatoes and zucchini to roast evenly, developing a tender interior and lightly caramelized exterior. Stirring halfway ensures uniform cooking.
The result is a savory side with soft but intact potato wedges and tender zucchini, accented by the herbal notes of oregano and rosemary along with the aroma of garlic. This combination offers a balance of textures and herby flavors that complement many main dishes.
Russet and Yukon Gold potatoes are recommended for their ideal starch content for roasting—not too waxy or starchy. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the oven or microwave, although best eaten fresh.
Ingredients
- 4-5 potato large; Yukon Gold or Russet varieties
- 2-3 zucchini medium, trimmed and cut into wedges
- 1 large onion sliced, optional
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1½ teaspoons oregano
- 3 prigs rosemary chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400F (200C).
- Peel and rinse the potatoes, cut into small wedges, then dry them in a clean dish towel. Place them in a large bowl, add the zucchini also cut into wedges, the sliced onion and toss them with the olive oil, salt, oregano, rosemary and garlic, mix well.
- Transfer to a large baking sheet or oven safe pan, if you like sprinkle with additional oregano and salt. Bake in a pre-heated oven for approximately 45- 60 minutes (halfway through the cooking time, mix them with a wooden spoon or spatula), continue cooking. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for best roasting texture.
- Fresh herbs and dried herbs can be substituted at a ratio of 1 tablespoon fresh to 1 teaspoon dried.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days; reheat before serving.
