- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
How to Make Garlic Herb Baby Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the baby potatoes to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a towel.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the baby potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and herb mixture.
- Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and golden brown, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
- Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the potatoes are cut to a uniform size to guarantee even cooking.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or zest before serving.
- If you prefer a crispy finish, broil the potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
Easy Variations
- Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.
- Cheesy Delight: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
- Herb Swap: Experiment with other herbs such as dill, oregano, or basil for a different flavor profile.
