Scale
- 1 1/4 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 1 lb medium carrots, scrubbed clean and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 12 oz zucchini, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and set a rack in the middle of the oven.
- Prepare the Potatoes and Carrots: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes and carrot pieces with 2 ½ tablespoons of olive oil, minced thyme, and rosemary. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Make sure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the herbs and oil.
- Roast the Potatoes and Carrots: Spread the seasoned potatoes and carrots onto a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes.
- Prepare the Zucchini: While the potatoes and carrots are roasting, toss the zucchini in a small bowl with the remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil and a light sprinkle of salt.
- Add Zucchini and Garlic: After the initial 20 minutes of roasting, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the zucchini and minced garlic to the potatoes and carrots, tossing everything together to combine. Spread the vegetables out again into an even layer.
- Finish Roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender and slightly browned. The zucchini should be soft, and the potatoes should have a crisp exterior.
- Serve: Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and serve warm. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy this wholesome, flavorful dish as a perfect accompaniment to any meal!
