Follow with me step-by-step in the kitchen to learn how to make the best roasted potatoes and carrots!

Preheat the oven

As always, you’ll want to start by preheating the oven (to 400°F). Then, line and lightly grease the foil on a baking sheet.

Wash the potatoes and carrots

Next, wash and dry the potatoes, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes or halves.

Wash and dry the carrots, then peel and slice into ½-inch angled coins. You’re halfway to roasted potatoes and carrots! 😉

Bake, flip, then bake again

Bake potatoes and carrots for 20 mins, then flip and bake for about 20 more minutes or until tender. You can bake longer for softer roasted potatoes and carrots, or shorter for a crunchier texture.
