To start, gather your ingredients. You’ll need one pound of baby potatoes, one red bell pepper, one yellow bell pepper, and four scallions. You’ll also need some olive oil, salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs. I recommend using a combination of rosemary, thyme, and parsley.
Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash your potatoes and pat them dry. Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and place them in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle about two tablespoons of olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat.
Next, prepare your bell peppers and scallions. Remove the stems and seeds from the bell peppers and slice them into thin strips. Cut the scallions into small pieces, about one inch in length. Add your bell peppers and scallions to the mixing bowl with your potatoes.
Sprinkle your herbs over the top of the potato mixture, along with some salt and pepper to taste. Toss the ingredients lightly to distribute the herbs throughout.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the potato mixture onto the sheet. Arrange the ingredients in a single layer, ensuring that the potatoes are cut side down on the sheet.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender. You can test with a fork to see if they are done.
Once the potatoes are finished, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. You can serve them directly from the baking sheet or transfer them to a serving dish.
Herb potatoes with bell peppers and scallions are great on their own, or you can pair them with grilled chicken, steak, or fish. The flavors of the dish are fresh and light, with just the right amount of seasoning to compliment any main course.
This recipe is also perfect for meal prep, as it can be easily reheated and served as leftovers throughout the week. You can even add some shredded cheese on top for an extra burst of flavor!
In conclusion, herb potatoes with bell peppers and scallions is a simple and delicious side dish that is sure to impress. It’s easy to make, versatile, and packed with vitamins and nutrients. So next time you’re planning a dinner party or just need a quick and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. Your taste buds will thank you!
