Sheet Pan Lemon Potatoes Recipe
This sheet pan lemon potatoes recipe is the easiest you'll find! You simply toss the potatoes in a mixture of avocado oil, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Then bake until they're tender on the inside and crisp on the outside. They're the perfect side dish for any meal!My husband and I love any kind of roasted potato, so I decided to create a new recipe for spring. We love the combination of potato and lemon. They're perfect for warm days alongside chicken or even a burger.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds gourmet/petite gold potatoes
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 3 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 of a lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Wash the potatoes with water to remove any dirt then dry with a kitchen towel.
- Place the potatoes and all the other ingredients into a mixing bowl. Stir to combine and disperse the zest evenly.
- Dump potato mixture out on the prepared sheet pan and spread them out into a single layer (make sure no potatoes are stacked on top of one other).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until potatoes are soft and tender on the inside and golden brown on the outside.
- Take out of the oven. Squeeze the juice from half of a lemon over the top if you want more flavor. Add an additional sprinkle of salt if desired. Stir to evenly coat and serve immediately. Enjoy!
