Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 medium potatoes, quartered
- 2 large carrots, chopped into 2-inch pieces
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking dish or sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prep the vegetables: Quarter the potatoes into even pieces and chop the carrots into uniform 2-inch pieces. Place them into a large mixing bowl to prepare for seasoning.
- Season the vegetables: Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and carrots. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently toss all the vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Roast the vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on the lined baking dish. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly. The vegetables are done when they are tender and have a golden, crispy exterior.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure the vegetables are spread out in a single layer without overcrowding.
- You can add herbs like rosemary or thyme for additional flavor if desired.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Flip the vegetables halfway through roasting for even browning on all sides.
- Check tenderness with a fork before removing from the oven.
