Oven Roasted Potatoes and Carrots
Description
Oven Roasted Potatoes and Carrots combines halved baby potatoes and large chunks of carrots tossed with olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Spreading the vegetables in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roasting at 400°F develops a tender interior and browned edges. Roasting for 25 to 30 minutes while tossing once encourages even cooking and caramelization.
The garlic infuses the vegetables with savory aroma that complements their inherent sweetness, and the fresh parsley added after roasting adds a pop of herbal freshness and color. This side dish pairs well with a variety of main courses, providing simple roasted flavors and easily adaptable seasoning. It can be served warm directly from the oven or made ahead.
Leftovers keep well stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to three days, making this dish practical for meal planning or batch cooking. The use of parchment or foil-lined baking sheets facilitates cleanup.
