🥣 Ingredients and Notes
Yukon Gold Potatoes: These yellow waxy potatoes work well for roasting because they hold their shape nicely. There’s no need to peel them. You can cut them into cubes and toss them into the oil and seasoning.
Fresh Green Beans: There are different kinds of green beans. You can use whatever kind you like the best, but I recommend using bush or long beans.
Olive Oil: A healthy oil high in monounsaturated fat, you could also use avocado oil as a substitute.
Italian Seasoning: A combination of dried basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and marjoram make up the herbs in Italian seasoning. If you don’t have Italian seasoning, you can use any combination of these herbs.
Salt and Pepper: Season to your preference.
📖 Variations and Substitutions
Add Garlic:
Use Red Potatoes: Red potatoes are a good substitute if you can’t find Yukon gold potatoes. They are small and tender and cook quickly.
Fresh Herbs: Incorporating fresh herbs instead of dried herbs provides a bright and refreshing flavor. Fresh herbs are not as robust in taste, so you must double the amount of fresh herbs you use.
👩🏻🍳 How to Make Sheet Pan Potatoes and Green Beans
- Preheat the oven to 425° Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes clean. Slice them into quarters. Wash and trim the green beans.
- In a large bowl, add the potatoes and green beans. Drizzle with olive oil, and add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss together to distribute evenly.
- Add the potatoes and green beans to the baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes and green beans are golden brown. Toss halfway through the booking process to ensure they are crispy on all sides.
📝 Expert Tips
- Cut the potatoes into equal-sized pieces so they roast evenly in the oven.
- Ensure the vegetables are spread out in a single layer on the sheet pan. Crowding them can cause them to steam instead of roast, resulting in soggy vegetables.
- Toss the vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice, even color.
❓ FAQS
The best potatoes for roasting are generally those with a higher starch content, as they tend to become crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside when roasted. Those potatoes include russet, Yukon Gold, red, fingerling, and purple potatoes.
Use pre-made seasoning blends like Italian seasoning, Cajun seasoning, or curry powder for a quick and easy flavor boost. Toss the roasted vegetables with chopped fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, basil, or thyme before serving for a fresh and vibrant flavor. After roasting, add some grated lemon, lime, or orange zest to the vegetables for a bright, citrusy flavor.
🍽 Serving Suggestions
Serve Immediately: The potatoes are crispy, and the green beans are golden brown and tender as soon as they come out of the oven.
Finish with Fresh Herbs: Just before serving, sprinkle the roasted vegetables with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for added flavor and freshness.
Fresh Lemon Juice: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top provides a hint of acidity that brightens all the ingredients.
🫙 Storage
Fridge: Allow the potatoes and green beans to cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat: Place leftovers in an air fryer for 5-8 minutes to warm and crisp back up.
