Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
Seasonings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Garnish (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes and onions to a crispy and caramelized finish.
- Toss Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the potato chunks and sliced onions with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Toss well to evenly coat all pieces with the seasonings and oil.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potato and onion mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Roast First Half: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25 minutes, allowing the potatoes and onions to begin softening and browning.
- Flip and Continue Roasting: Use a spatula to carefully flip the potatoes and onions to promote even cooking. Roast for an additional 20 to 25 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown, crispy on the edges, and the onions are caramelized.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Optionally sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a fresh, herbaceous finish before serving warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar before roasting for a subtle tang.
- Optionally finish with grated Parmesan cheese for added richness.
- Try adding bell peppers or carrots to the mix for variety and color.
