Crispy Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes, Carrots and Zucchini

Ingredients

Vegetables

 

2 cups baby potatoes (or regular potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes)

 

2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into thick sticks or rounds

 

1 medium zucchini, cut into thick half-moons

 

Garlic Herb Marinade

 

3 tbsp olive oil

 

3 cloves garlic, minced

 

1 tsp dried oregano

 

½ tsp dried thyme or rosemary

 

½ tsp paprika

 

Salt and black pepper, to taste

 

1 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped

 

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

 

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

 

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

 

Step 2: Parboil the Potatoes

 

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

 

Add potato cubes and boil for 5–7 minutes until just tender (not fully cooked).

 

Drain well and let steam dry for a few minutes — this helps them crisp up in the oven.

 

Step 3: Toss with Garlic Herb Mixture

 

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.

 

Add potatoes, carrots, and zucchini. Toss well until evenly coated.

 

Step 4: Roast the Vegetables

 

Spread vegetables out in a single layer on the baking sheet — avoid overcrowding (use 2 trays if needed).

 

Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp on the edges.

 

Potatoes should be crisp and carrots tender.

 

Zucchini will be soft and slightly caramelized.

 

Step 5: Finish & Serve

 

Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley or dill.

 

Add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness (optional).

 

Serve hot with grilled meat, fish, or a creamy dip like garlic yogurt sauce.

 

Notes & Tips

For extra crisp potatoes, toss them in 1 tsp cornstarch before roasting.

 

Add other Mediterranean veggies like bell peppers or red onions for variety.

 

If using air fryer, cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway.
