Roasted Garlic Potatoes and Green Beans

Roasted Herb Potatoes and Garlic Green Beans

 

Potatoes and fresh from the garden green beans go very well together. Season them with garlic, and herbs for a great tasting side dish.

Ingredients

2 1/4 lbs. potatoes
1 1/4 Tbs. olive oil
1/2 to 3/4  Tbs. garlic powder or granulated
3/4 Tbs. Italian seasoning
3/4 Tbs. paprika
3/4 tsp. salt 
1/3 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 lbs. green beans, yellow beans, purple beans, trimmed
3/4 Tbs. olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.

Wash the potatoes. You can peel the potatoes, but it is not necessary. Cut them into bite size cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. 

Add olive oil.  Stir so that each potato cubes haves a coating of olive oil. 

Sprinkle oregano, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper over the potatoes. Mix thoroughly, so each potato has some spices on it. 

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Spread them out evenly.

Bake for 15 minutes, stirring them occasionally, so they do not burn.

Snap or cut the tips  off from the green beans. Cut or snap them in half or in pieces about 2 inches (ca. 5 cm) long.  Place them in the same bowl you mixed the potatoes in.

Add olive oil. Stir so the beans have a coating of olive oil. 

Stir in garlic, salt, and pepper. 

Add the beans on top of the potatoes. Mix the two together carefully because the baking sheet will be hot. 

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the beans and potatoes are tender.  It is a good idea to stir them at least once or twice during the baking, so they do not stick to the baking sheet.  Season  with more salt and pepper if desired.
