Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 pound baby potatoes (halved or quartered)
- 1 pound fresh green beans (trimmed)
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
Garnish (Optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley or grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables evenly and to achieve a golden finish.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved or quartered baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt if desired to coat evenly.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting. Place them in the oven and roast for 20 minutes to begin cooking until slightly tender.
- Prepare Green Beans: While the potatoes roast, toss the trimmed green beans with the remaining olive oil and ranch seasoning until well coated for maximum flavor infusion.
- Add Green Beans: After the initial 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the seasoned green beans. Toss gently with the potatoes to combine.
- Continue Roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and fork-tender and the green beans are slightly crisp and tender.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the vegetables from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or grated Parmesan if desired, and serve warm as a flavorful side dish.
Notes
- Use pre-washed and trimmed green beans to save preparation time.
- Frozen green beans can be substituted; thaw and pat dry before roasting to ensure proper texture.
- This dish pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, chicken, or fish for a complete meal.
