The tangy lemon juice complements the earthiness of the potatoes and the freshness of the green beans, making it a delightful and healthy option. With a handful of ingredients, you can easily create this delicious and nutritious dish.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough to roast the potatoes and beans.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges of similar size to ensure even cooking.
3. Mix the Olive Oil and Lemon Juice:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Whisk them together until well blended.
- Add the potato wedges into the bowl with the olive oil and lemon juice mixture. Toss until all the potato wedges are evenly coated.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring each wedge is well seasoned.
- Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are roasting, trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into desired lengths.
- After the potatoes have roasted for approximately 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the green beans to the sheet and toss them gently with the potatoes using a spatula. Ensure that the green beans are coated with the leftover olive oil and lemon juice mixture from the potatoes.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast the potatoes and green beans together for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy at the edges and the green beans are tender.
- Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Transfer the roasted potatoes and beans to a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or a light dusting of lemon zest for extra flavor.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish to complement your main course, or as a satisfying vegetarian entrée.
Tips:
- Make sure to cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- You can parboil the potatoes for a few minutes before roasting to reduce the cooking time and make them extra crispy.
- Feel free to add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley for extra flavor.
- Toss the green beans in with the potatoes halfway through the roasting process to keep them tender yet slightly crispy.
- For a more robust flavor, you can add minced garlic or onion powder to the olive oil and lemon juice mixture.
There you have it - a delightful dish of lemon roasted potatoes and beans. The zesty lemon flavor combined with the roasted potatoes and tender green beans makes for a perfect side dish or a light main course. Enjoy your meal!
