How to Make Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes and Veggies
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the halved baby red potatoes, broccoli florets, baby carrots, and chopped red bell pepper.
- Add the minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, rosemary, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss everything thoroughly until the potatoes and veggies are evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure everything roasts evenly and crisps up nicely.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and crispy and the veggies are tender.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a bright, fresh finish.
- Serve hot as a flavorful side dish to your favorite protein or enjoy on its own for a light meal.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use baby potatoes or fingerlings for quicker cooking and crispier skins.
- Cut veggies into similar sizes to ensure even roasting.
- Don’t skip tossing halfway through roasting to prevent burning and promote uniform browning.
- Fresh herbs can be substituted or added for extra flavor—try rosemary or thyme fresh from the garden.
- For extra crispiness, increase the oven temperature slightly or broil for 2-3 minutes at the end—watch closely to avoid burning.
Storage and Reheating
You can store leftover garlic herb roasted potatoes and veggies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To keep them tasting fresh, reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to restore their crispiness.
If you want to freeze leftovers, spread the cooled veggies on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven at 400°F (205°C) until warmed through and crispy again.
