Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 lb asparagus, trimmed
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Position a rack in the center.
Put the cut potatoes in a large bowl. Add the minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
Add the trimmed asparagus to the bowl and toss gently to coat without breaking the spears.
Spread everything in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding so vegetables roast rather than steam.
Roast for 20 to 25 minutes. Flip the pieces gently halfway through so potatoes brown on both sides.
Check the potatoes with a fork; they should be tender and golden. The asparagus should be crisp-tender.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately drizzle with the lemon juice. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve right away.
Notes
Yukon golds are ideal for their texture. Use fresh herbs for an aroma boost. Serve with Parmesan or herby yogurt sauce.
