Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

1 pound (450 g) fresh green beans, washed and trimmed (stringless if possible)
1 pound (450 g) baby potatoes, washed and halved

Seasonings and Oil

1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
6 large cloves garlic, finely chopped or minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Garnish

Fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables.
Boil Vegetables: In a large pot, boil the halved baby potatoes for 8 minutes. After 6 minutes, add the fresh green beans to the boiling water and cook together for the last 2 minutes. This ensures both are tender but not overcooked.
Drain and Season: Drain the potatoes and green beans thoroughly and transfer them to a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, minced garlic, salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss well to evenly coat all the vegetables with the seasonings and oil.
Roast Vegetables: Spread the seasoned green beans and potatoes evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even cooking and browning.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy the flavorful combination of crispy edges and tender centers.

Feel free to adjust the garlic amount or use fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for variation.
For a vegan or vegetarian diet, this recipe is naturally suitable without modification.
