Tips for Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans

– One helpful tip is to line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes cleanup quick and keeps the potatoes from sticking.

– Another tip is to cut the potatoes small enough so they cook in the same time as the green beans.

– You can also use pre washed green beans to save prep time.

– For extra crispy potatoes make sure they are dry before adding oil. Too much moisture can stop them from browning.

– Do not overcrowd the pan because crowded vegetables steam instead of roast.

What to Eat with Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans ??

Garlic herb roasted potatoes and green beans are hearty, cozy, and full of flavor, so I love pairing them with simple meals that everyone enjoys. I usually serve them with roasted chicken or grilled meat for dinner.

My kids like eating them just as they are, especially when the potatoes are crispy, and they often dip them into ketchup or enjoy them as a fun side on family nights.

Ingredients :

Potatoes : are the star of this dish.
Fresh green beans : green beans add color and a fresh bite.
Garlic cloves : fresh garlic gives the strongest flavor.
Dried or fresh herbs : fresh herbs give a brighter taste but dried herbs work perfectly too.

How to Make Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans :

Step 1

Start this recipe by preheating your oven to a hot temperature so the vegetables roast instead of steaming. While the oven heats wash the potatoes well and cut them into bite sized pieces so they cook evenly. Try to keep them about the same size so no pieces burn while others stay undercooked.

Step 2

As this bakes place the potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Add the minced garlic herbs salt and pepper and then toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated. This step is important because it spreads the flavor evenly.

Step 3

In the meantime spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Give them space so they can get crispy. Put the pan in the oven and let the potatoes start roasting first since they take longer than green beans.

Step 4

Along with that while the potatoes cook trim the green beans and place them in the same bowl you used earlier. Add a little more olive oil salt and pepper and toss gently. After the potatoes have roasted for a while take the pan out and add the green beans right next to the potatoes. Stir everything slightly so the flavors mix.

Step 5

Let it rest briefly return the pan to the oven and continue roasting until the potatoes are golden and fork tender and the green beans are soft with lightly crispy edges. Once done remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed and then serve warm.
