- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel to ensure they roast properly.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the roasted potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese while they are still hot, allowing it to melt slightly.

Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a light sprinkle of lemon zest for a bright, fresh finish.
