Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes
• 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 4

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have space to roast rather than steam.

Step 5

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

Step 6

While the potatoes are roasting, finely mince the fresh mint leaves and garlic cloves. Combine the mint, garlic, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 7

Remove the potatoes from the oven once they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 8

Transfer the hot potatoes back into the mixing bowl and toss them with the mint, garlic, and lemon zest mixture.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more salt or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a vibrant, flavorful side dish!
