Ingredients
- 1½ pounds yellow mini potatoes, sliced in half or quarters
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced half inch thick
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- A few turns freshly ground black pepper
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (optional, but I line the pan for easier cleanup).
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced mini potatoes and carrots with the olive oil, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, garlic powder and black pepper.
- Transfer the carrots and potatoes to the baking sheet in an even layer and roast for 45 minutes or until the carrots are fork tender and the potatoes are soft in the middle. You can toss partway through cooking for more even browning, but it’s not necessary. See note 2.
- Serve immediately garnished with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator and eat within 4 days.

Notes
- Potatoes: if you don’t have mini potatoes, simply chop regular yellow potatoes into the same size (about an inch to inch-and-a-half thick). Your choice whether to peel them! Likewise, if any of the mini potatoes are significantly bigger than the others, you can slice them into quarters rather than in half.
- Cook time: will vary based on your oven and how spaced out the potatoes and carrots are on the sheet pan. A larger sheet pan will allow for more air flow and quicker roasting.
