Sweet & Savory Honey Herb Roasted Baby Potatoes

These Honey Herb Roasted Baby Potatoes are a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors, perfectly roasted to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior. They’re an impressive yet simple side dish that will elevate any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes (Yukon Gold, red new potatoes, or a colorful mix)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on. Pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the clean, dry potatoes with olive oil, then add the honey. Toss in the fresh rosemary and thyme, smashed garlic cloves, and a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure every potato is evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the coated potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  4. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Stir or flip them halfway through to ensure even browning. Continue roasting for another 20-25 minutes, or until fork-tender and golden brown.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Discard the spent herb sprigs and garlic skins if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
