Here’s a simple, delicious recipe featuring potatoes and onions that brings out their natural flavors. This works as a side dish or even a light main.
Roasted Potatoes and Onions
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled or scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 medium onions, sliced into thin wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for color and flavor)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional: rosemary, thyme, or parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes and onions with olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.
- Roast in the oven for 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges, and onions are caramelized.
- Remove from oven and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot.
Tips
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little grated Parmesan over the top during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
- Adding a splash of balsamic vinegar after roasting gives a sweet tangy finish.
- Try mixing in bell peppers or carrots for a colorful medley.
If you want, I can also give a stovetop version that’s faster and still crispy. Do you want me to do that?
