Parmesan Pesto Roasted Potatoes
Description
Parmesan Pesto Roasted Potatoes feature baby potatoes coated in a mixture of pesto, kosher salt, and black pepper, then roasted to develop a crispy exterior. Halfway through roasting, freshly grated Parmesan cheese is sprinkled over the potatoes, melting into a savory crust. After baking, a squeeze of lemon juice adds a fresh, acidic element that complements the nutty Parmesan and herbaceous pesto. The method involves tossing and roasting on a nonstick or foil-lined baking sheet at 400°F, resulting in potatoes that are golden and flavorful. This dish works well as a side for grilled or roasted meats and can be served drizzled with extra pesto and more Parmesan cheese for added flavor depth.
Ingredients
- 1 pound potato washed and any larger ones cut in half, baby
- 1 tablespoon pesto plus extra for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated fresh
- kosher salt fresh ground, to taste
- black pepper fresh ground, to taste
- 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray, you can also line it with foil.
- In a bowl toss the potatoes, pesto, salt and pepper together until coated. Spread them into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes then remove the pan and sprinkle the potatoes with the parmesan cheese. Bake another 5-10 minutes or until the outside of the potatoes are crisp and the inside is fork tender.
- Once the potatoes are roasted squeeze the juice of half of a lemon over the top of them. Serve the potatoes on a serving plate or bowl drizzled with extra pesto and more parmesan cheese.
