Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, cut in half lengthwise
- 2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed
Seasonings and Oil
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced and divided
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the potatoes perfectly.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a large 18×13 inch rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Season the potatoes: In a bowl, drizzle the baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss with 2 cloves of minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to evenly coat them with flavor.
- Roast the potatoes: Spread the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until they become tender and golden brown.
- Prepare the green beans: While the potatoes roast, toss the trimmed green beans with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, salt, and pepper to coat.
- Broil the green beans: After the potatoes are tender, switch the oven setting to broil. Add the green beans to the baking sheet with the potatoes and cook under the broiler for 5 minutes to start caramelizing.
- Toss and finish broiling: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, toss the green beans to ensure even cooking, then return to the oven to broil until the green beans reach your desired crispness, about 4 to 5 more minutes.
Notes
- Cut potatoes evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Watch the broccoli closely while broiling to prevent burning.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or thyme after roasting.
- This dish pairs well with grilled or roasted meats.
- Make sure to trim green bean ends for a more tender texture.
