Ingredients

For the roasted mix

• 2 lbs of baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red)
• 2 large yellow onions, sliced
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
• 1 tsp paprika (smoked or sweet)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnish

• Fresh parsley, chopped
• Grated Parmesan cheese for a non-vegan twist

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

⚡️ Preheating the oven ensures your potatoes will roast to crispy perfection!

• Wash the baby potatoes, then halve or quarter them depending on their size. Place them in a large mixing bowl along with the sliced onions and minced garlic.

• Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and onions, then sprinkle with rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes and onions are well-coated.

🥄 Use your hands for the best mixing technique! It gets the oil and seasonings evenly distributed.

• Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd the potatoes. This allows them to crisp up nicely.

• Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.

⚠️ Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to prevent burning, especially if your oven runs hot!

• Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan for an extra layer of flavor.

Variations

• Herb-infused: Try incorporating different herbs like thyme or oregano if rosemary isn’t your favorite. Fresh herbs add a wonderful aroma!

• Spicy kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mix for a bit of heat! 🌶️

• Vegetable medley: Feel free to include bell peppers or carrots for extra color and nutrition. Just cut them to a similar size so they roast evenly!

• Sheet pan dinner: Include some sausage or chicken pieces alongside the potatoes and onions for a complete dinner all in one pan. Just adjust the roasting time depending on what you add!

Enjoy your delicious roasted potatoes and onions as a satisfying side dish that complements a variety of main courses! 🥰🍽️
