Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
Aromatics and Herbs:
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
Seasonings and Oil:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to a sizzling 425°F, ensuring the rack sits in the middle position for even heat distribution.
- Thoroughly rinse 1.5 pounds of baby potatoes under cool water, using a vegetable brush to scrub away any dirt or debris.
- Grab a spacious mixing bowl and pour in 3 tablespoons of olive oil, then add 4 finely minced garlic cloves and 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped rosemary.
- Drop the clean potatoes into the bowl and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper, then toss everything until each potato gets a perfect, glistening coating.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes across a rimmed baking sheet, making absolutely certain they sit in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, creating a golden, crispy exterior that will make your kitchen smell amazing.
- Halfway through cooking, use a spatula to gently flip and rotate the potatoes, ensuring every side develops a beautiful, even brown color.
- When potatoes reach a deep golden brown and can be easily pierced with a fork, pull them from the oven and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Choose small, uniform baby potatoes for even roasting and consistent texture.
- Fresh rosemary provides the most vibrant flavor, but dried rosemary works in a pinch.
- Parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup super easy.
- For a vegan or dairy-free version, this recipe is naturally perfect without any modifications.
