These Herb & Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes are the perfect side dish for any occasion. With a delightful blend of fresh herbs and the savory kick of garlic and Parmesan, they're sure to be a hit at your next meal. Plus, they're incredibly easy to make!
Baby potatoes are perfect for roasting because they cook evenly and quickly. The skins get wonderfully crispy while the insides remain fluffy. Olive oil is not just for coating; it also helps the potatoes brown beautifully. Fresh rosemary and thyme bring aromatic depth, while garlic infuses the dish with its unmistakable flavor. A touch of Parmesan cheese adds a savory, nutty finish. Finally, a sprinkle of fresh parsley brightens and freshens the dish right before serving.
These roasted potatoes pair beautifully with grilled meats, like steak or chicken, and are a fantastic side for a hearty fish dish. They also work well in a brunch spread alongside eggs and bacon.
First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step ensures the potatoes won't stick and makes for easy cleanup. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. This creates your flavorful coating.
Add your baby potatoes to the bowl and toss them until every piece is well-coated with the herb mixture. It's important to get them evenly covered for consistent flavor throughout.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. This is crucial for even roasting; overcrowded potatoes will steam instead of roast. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top, ensuring every potato gets a piece of that cheesy goodness.
Roast the potatoes in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. You'll want to check them at the 25-minute mark; they should be golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork. Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley right before serving. The parsley not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the fresh flavors.
