Ingredients

• 900 g Baby potatoes
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 3 tbsp Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 100 ml Chicken broth (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. If the potatoes are particularly large, cut them into quarters for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl, tossing them to ensure they are evenly coated with the garlic-lemon mixture.

Step 5

Spread the potatoes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.

Step 6

If using chicken broth for extra flavor and tenderness, drizzle it over the potatoes before placing the baking sheet in the oven.

Step 7

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure they become golden and crispy on all sides.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle them with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.

Step 9

Transfer the garlic lemon potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with additional lemon zest or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish alongside your favorite main course and enjoy!
