Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 lb baby potatoes (red or gold), halved
- 1 cup baby carrots (or sliced regular carrots)
- 1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy clean-up.
- Season Potatoes and Carrots: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes and baby carrots with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast Potatoes and Carrots: Spread the seasoned potatoes and carrots evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the oven for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Green Beans: While the potatoes and carrots are roasting, toss the trimmed green beans with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt to coat.
- Add Green Beans and Continue Roasting: After the initial 25 minutes of roasting, add the green beans to the baking sheet with the potatoes and carrots. Continue roasting for an additional 10-15 minutes, until all vegetables are tender and slightly crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the vegetables from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and, if desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. Serve warm and enjoy!
