A comforting and vibrant side dish combining sweet, tender peas with crispy, golden roasted potatoes. Perfect for any occasion, from weeknight dinners to holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peas, thawed if frozen
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley or grated Parmesan for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and dry the baby potatoes, then halve or quarter them depending on their size. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crisp.
  5. While the potatoes are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 clove of minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  6. Add the peas to the saucepan and stir to coat them in the butter and garlic. Cook for 3-5 minutes, just until they’re heated through and tender. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Once the potatoes are done, transfer them to a serving dish. Spoon the peas over the top and gently toss to combine. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan if desired.

Notes

[‘Cut potatoes evenly to ensure even roasting.’, ‘Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow the potatoes to roast properly.’, ‘Use fresh peas when available for better flavor and texture.’, ‘Generously season the potatoes and peas for the best taste.’, ‘Check the potatoes around the 18-minute mark to prevent burning.’]
