Ingredients
1/4 cup Olive oil
4 cloves Garlic pressed or minced
1 Tbl. Fresh rosemary chopped
2 lbs. potatoes, red skinned cut into large chunks
to taste Coarse sea salt
to taste Ground black pepper
Instructions
Prehead oven to 450 degrees F with the oven rack in the lower third. Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large saucepan. On the stovetop, in a large baking sheet with sides, heat the oil, garlic, and rosemary. Do not allow the garlic to brown. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in the water for 1 minute. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and place them on the baking sheet. Stir to coat with oil. Roast the potatoes, on the baking sheet, on the lower oven rack. Roast for 20 minutes and then carefully toss with a spatula. Roast another 10 minutes or until cooked through, brown, and crisp. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
I also had a bag of baby carrots and thought that this same method should work with them as well. I boiled them for 3-5 minutes and put them on a separate 1/4 sheet pan, tossing them with olive oil and about 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon. I roasted them the same as the potatoes, adding 1/4 cup of brown sugar during the last 10 minutes. The flavor was rich but not too strong.
While they were roasting, I threw two ribeyes on the Big Green Egg at a roaring 650f fire.
Served it all up with some Texas Toast and everyone was Happy Happy!
Now that's my kind of meal! Everything looks so tasty. Your plating looks just fine to me.
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful! My husband would just adore the roasted carrots.
ReplyDeleteOk, you've thrown me for a loop. I slack on my online rounds for a few weeks, come back and you have splintered into two blogs. Whats a follower to do..........

I might just try those this weekend. I'm making some "Caribbean wings" for the SuperBowl, I'll let you know how they turn out. By the way, it was 75 degrees here yesterday....
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be able to plate it, period. After seeing those steaks I'd probably have to pick up my fork and set down my camera.
ReplyDeleteI roast veggies all the time. And nothing like fresh Rosemary from my garden. Expecially with pork.
