Oven Roasted Potatoes and Carrots with Herbs
This recipe combines mini potatoes and carrot rounds roasted until tender and flavorful. The vegetables are coated with olive oil and a mixture of thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper before baking. After roasting, melted butter and fresh parsley are added for richness and freshness. The herbs can be fresh or dried, offering flexibility to personalize the dish.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds potato mini
- ¾ pound carrot
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon thyme 1 tablespoon fresh, dried
- 1 teaspoon rosemary 1 tablespoon fresh, dried
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup parsley fresh chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Set out a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Cut the largest mini potatoes in half. Leave the smallest potatoes whole. Peel and slice the carrots into ½ inch rounds. Place both the potatoes and carrots on the baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the top. Sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to coat. Then spread the vegetables out in a single layer. (You can also mix the oil and seasoning in a separate bowl and pour over the top.)
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until fork tender. Add the melted butter and fresh parsley. Toss to coat. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh or dried herbs; swap thyme and rosemary with other favorites as desired.
- Cut larger mini potatoes in half and leave smaller ones whole for even roasting.
- Toss vegetables thoroughly with oil and seasonings to ensure even coating before baking.
