tips to make One-Pan Garlic Potatoes & Asparagus

• Cut potatoes into even 1-inch pieces so they cook at the same speed.
• Spread items in one layer on the sheet so they roast, not steam.
• Flip halfway for even browning.
• Add asparagus later if your spears are very thin to avoid overcooking.

variation (if any)

• Add grated Parmesan in the last 5 minutes of roasting for a savory crust.
• Toss in halved cherry tomatoes for color and sweetness (add them in the last 10 minutes).
• Use fresh thyme or rosemary instead of oregano for a different herb note.
• For a smoky twist, add a pinch of smoked paprika.

FAQs

Q: Can I use red potatoes or russets instead of Yukon gold?
A: Yes. Red potatoes work well. Russets may break down more, so cut them slightly larger and watch the cooking time.

Q: Do I need to peel the potatoes?
A: No. The skin adds texture and nutrients. Wash them well and cut into even pieces.

Q: Can I roast this at a different temperature?
A: You can roast at 425°F for a bit more browning, but check often to prevent burning. Lower temps take longer.

Q: Can I make this ahead?
A: You can cut the potatoes and trim the asparagus ahead of time and keep them covered in the fridge. Do not toss with oil until ready to roast.

Q: Is this recipe gluten-free?
A: Yes. The ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
