Crispy potatoes and green beans with garlic and herbs make a flavorful, easy, and tender side dish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
02 - 8 oz fresh green beans, trimmed

→ Seasonings & Herbs

03 - 3 tbsp olive oil
04 - 4 cloves garlic, minced

08 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs until evenly coated.
03 - Spread potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.
04 - Toss green beans with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
05 - After 20 minutes, add green beans to the baking sheet, tossing gently with the potatoes. Roast for another 15 minutes, or until potatoes are golden and tender, and green beans are crisp-tender.
06 - Remove from oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and Parmesan if using. Serve hot.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The potatoes get impossibly crispy on the outside while staying fluffy inside, like little comfort pillows
  • Everything cooks on one pan so cleanup is literally just tossing some parchment paper
  • The garlic and herbs create this incredible aroma that fills your whole kitchen
02 -
  • Do not crowd the pan or the vegetables will steam instead of roast, use two pans if needed
  • The timing difference between potatoes and green beans is real, adding them together from the start gives you mushy beans
  • Resist the urge to stir too often, letting the potatoes sit undisturbed creates the best crispy edges
03 -
  • Spread vegetables in an even single layer with space between pieces, overlap creates steam and prevents browning
  • Let the roasted vegetables rest on the pan for about 5 minutes before serving, this helps the crust set and makes them easier to toss
