These Zesty Lemon Herb Roasted Potatoes are a flavorful and easy-to-make side dish perfect for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures the potatoes start roasting immediately, giving them a crispy texture.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into wedges.
Uniformly sized wedges ensure even cooking.
Boil the potato wedges in a large pot of salted water for 10 minutes, then drain and let them cool slightly.
Parboiling helps achieve a fluffy interior and crispy exterior.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Whisking the mixture ensures the flavors are evenly distributed.
Toss the potato wedges in the seasoning mixture until well coated.
Ensure all wedges are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the coated potatoes on a greased baking sheet in a single layer.
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow proper roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through.
Turning the potatoes ensures they roast evenly on all sides.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Adding fresh parsley enhances the dish's flavor and presentation.
