Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 lb baby potatoes (red or gold), halved
- 1 cup baby carrots (or sliced regular carrots)
- 1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed
Seasonings and Oils
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy clean-up after roasting.
- Season Potatoes and Carrots: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes and baby carrots with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to evenly coat the vegetables with the seasoning mix.
- Roast Potatoes and Carrots: Spread the seasoned potatoes and carrots evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Prepare Green Beans: While the potatoes and carrots are roasting, toss the trimmed green beans with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt to lightly season them.
- Add Green Beans and Continue Roasting: After the initial 25 minutes of roasting, add the seasoned green beans to the baking sheet with the potatoes and carrots. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish the roasted vegetables with freshly chopped parsley and sprinkle with optional red pepper flakes for an added kick. Serve warm and enjoy this delicious, healthy side dish.

- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
