Ingredients
  

2 lbs baby potatoes (mixed colors if available)

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half if they are large; leave them whole if they are small.

      Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, and parsley), minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir until well blended.

        Coat the Potatoes: Add the potatoes to the herbal mixture and toss until each potato is evenly coated.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they have some space between them to roast evenly.

            Roasting Time: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. Halfway through, give the potatoes a good stir or shake to ensure even browning.

              Check for Doneness: The potatoes are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and fork-tender on the inside.

                Serve and Enjoy: Remove the potatoes from the oven, let them cool for a couple of minutes, then serve hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
