🛒 Ingredients
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered

- 2 medium zucchini, cut into thick half-moons
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves)
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat Oven and Prep Veggies
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Toss Vegetables with Oil and Herbs
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, carrots, and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil. Add minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
3. Spread on Baking Sheet
Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet. Make sure they’re not crowded so they roast rather than steam.
4. Roast Until Tender and Golden
Roast in the preheated oven for 30–40 minutes, stirring once halfway through. The potatoes should be crispy and golden, carrots tender, and zucchini caramelized.
5. Garnish and Serve
Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot as a delicious side to chicken, fish, or your favorite main dish.
💡 Tips and Tricks
- Cut vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting for a fresh, bright finish.
- For extra crunch, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of roasting—watch closely!
- Customize herbs to your preference — basil, tarragon, or dill are great alternatives.
