Ingredients
  

1.5 pounds baby red potatoes, washed and halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a kick)

Fresh lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: In a large pot, add the halved baby red potatoes and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce to simmer and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but still firm.

    Preheat the Oven: While the potatoes are cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      Make the Herb Infusion: In a small skillet over medium heat, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the garlic to infuse the oil without browning. Remove from heat and add in the lemon zest, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine and set aside.

        Combine Everything: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the herb-infused oil over the potatoes and gently toss until they are evenly coated.

          Roast the Potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, turning halfway through for even cooking.

            Serve: Remove from the oven and squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the roasted potatoes. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for extra zing!
