Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables:
- 4 large potatoes, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
Oils and Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to a high temperature of 425°F, ensuring a crisp cooking environment for the vegetables.
- Create a flavor-packed coating by thoroughly massaging olive oil and aromatic seasonings into the sliced potatoes and onions, guaranteeing even distribution of spices.
- Arrange the seasoned vegetables on a spacious baking sheet, carefully spreading them into a single, uncrowded layer to promote optimal roasting and crispy edges.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven, allowing the vegetables to transform into golden-brown delicacies through careful roasting.
- Midway through cooking, gently rotate the vegetables to ensure uniform browning and prevent uneven crisping.
- Monitor the potatoes and onions closely during the final stages of roasting, watching for a perfect balance of crunchiness and caramelized edges.
- Remove from the oven when the potatoes achieve a satisfying golden-brown color and the onions develop a sweet, slightly charred appearance.
- Transfer the freshly roasted vegetables to a serving dish, allowing them to cool momentarily before presenting this aromatic side dish.
Notes
- Pat potatoes completely dry before mixing with oil to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming.
- Cut potato and onion pieces similar in size for even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Use parchment paper or a well-seasoned baking sheet to prevent sticking and achieve better browning.
- Experiment with additional herbs like rosemary or thyme to enhance the flavor profile and add depth to the simple recipe.
