how to make Roasted Garlic Butter Parmesan Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian herbs, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to blend.
3. Add the halved baby potatoes to the bowl and toss until they’re well coated in the buttery garlic mixture.
4. Sprinkle in half of the Parmesan cheese and mix again to coat.
5. Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on the prepared tray in a single layer.
6. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the cut side. For extra crispiness, broil them for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye so they don’t burn.
7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the top, and let sit for 2 minutes to slightly melt.
8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley!
