Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 1.5 pounds medium-to-large carrots, peeled and cut into 1.5-inch pieces

Seasoning & Oil

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and adjust the rack to the middle position. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper to make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1.5-inch pieces. Peel and cut the carrots into similar-sized pieces. Optionally peel potatoes if preferred, though not necessary.
  3. Toss Vegetables with Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the potato and carrot pieces. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper generously. Toss well to evenly coat all pieces.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring the pieces aren’t crowded or touching too much to promote crisping.
  5. Roast Vegetables: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes until the potatoes and carrots are tender on the inside and browned on the outside to your liking. Optionally toss halfway through baking for more even color, but it’s not necessary. Start checking for doneness after 45-50 minutes, especially if pieces are cut smaller.

Notes

  • If you prefer extra crispy edges, make sure the vegetables have enough space and are not crowded on the sheet.
  • The roasting time may vary based on the size of the vegetable pieces and oven variations.
  • You can add garlic powder or fresh herbs like rosemary for extra flavor if desired.
  • This recipe can be doubled, but use two baking sheets and avoid overcrowding for best results.
