Ingredients

• 4 medium red potatoes
• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 small garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the red potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces (approximately 1-inch cubes).

Step 3

Wash the zucchini and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rounds. If the rounds are large, you can cut them into halves or quarters.

Step 4

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the red potatoes and zucchini.

Step 6

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat them evenly.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss again to ensure the vegetables are well-seasoned.

Step 8

Spread the seasoned vegetables on a large baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

Step 9

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown and the zucchini is slightly caramelized around the edges.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the vegetables during the last 5 minutes of roasting.

Step 11

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and serve the red potatoes and zucchini hot as a side dish.
