Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes & Carrots

Ingredients

  • 3–4 medium potatoes (peeled & cubed)
  • 3–4 large carrots (cut into sticks or chunks)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3–4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Salt (to taste)
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for extra flavor)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. Prep the Veggies

  • Wash, peel, and cut potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
  • Cut carrots into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.

3. Season

  • In a large bowl, toss potatoes and carrots with:
    • Olive oil
    • Garlic
    • Oregano
    • Paprika
    • Salt & pepper
    • Chili flakes (optional)

4. Roast

  • Spread everything in a single layer in a baking dish or tray.
  • Roast for 30–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until:
    • Golden brown
    • Crispy on the edges
    • Tender inside

5. Finish (Optional but Recommended 😍)

  • Toss with a little butter right after baking for extra richness.

💡 Tips

  • Don’t overcrowd the tray—this helps crispiness
  • Use baby potatoes for even better texture
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for a fresh twist.
