As a veteran home-cook blogger, I know that the right roasting technique transforms humble veggies into crave-worthy sides. These Herb-Roasted Baby Potatoes & Green Beans achieve irresistible crispness and fragrant herb notes.

Experience & Expertise:
I experimented with roasting temperatures and oil ratios, finding that 425 °F yields maximum browning without drying the beans.

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 1 lb baby potatoes, halved

• 8 oz green beans, trimmed

• 3 cloves garlic, smashed

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped

• Salt & pepper

Steps

1. Preheat oven: 425 °F (220 °C).

2. Toss veggies: In bowl, combine potatoes, green beans, garlic, oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

3. Roast (20–25 min): Spread in single layer on sheet pan. Roast, stirring halfway, until potatoes are golden and beans are tender.

4. Serve: Transfer to platter; sprinkle extra rosemary.

Serving Suggestion: These pair beautifully with grilled meats or as part of a holiday spread.
