Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
- Place the diced potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the potatoes.
- Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Stir the potatoes halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
- While the potatoes are roasting, chop the pistachio nuts and zest the lemon.
- Set aside the chopped pistachios and lemon zest.
- Once the potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.
- Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped pistachios to the bowl with the hot potatoes. Toss gently to combine and ensure the potatoes are well-coated with the lemony goodness and pistachios.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately while the potatoes are still warm and crispy.
Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for the best results, as they roast well and develop a nice crispy exterior.
- Make sure to evenly coat the potatoes with olive oil to ensure even roasting and avoid sticking to the baking sheet.
- To enhance the lemon flavor, consider adding some lemon zest along with the juice.
- Toast and chop the pistachio nuts before adding them to the potatoes for an added depth of flavor and crunch.
- Roast the potatoes in a single layer to ensure even cooking and perfect crispiness.
With their crisp exterior and flavorful, tender interior, Lemon and Pistachio Roasted Potatoes are a delightful and easy-to-make side dish. The combination of lemon and pistachio brings an unexpected and refreshing twist to your traditional roasted potatoes, making them a perfect accompaniment for a variety of main dishes. Enjoy the burst of flavors and the crunchy texture in every bite!
