📝Ingredients
Here's what you'll to make these potatoes and carrots:
- 1 bag mini potatoes
- 6 large carrots - you could also use baby carrots if you have those
- Olive oil
- Dried rosemary
- Dried oregano
- Dried basil
- Dried parsley
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
See recipe card for quantities.
If you don't have mini potatoes, you can totally use large, baking potatoes (like yellow or white).
Be sure to cut them into a small enough size so they cook at approximately the same time as the carrots.
And if you don't have whole carrots, you can substitute in baby carrots. No need to cut those😄
🔪How to roast potatoes and carrots at the same time
Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut your mini potatoes in half and your carrots to about ½ inch thick.
Place cut veggies in a large mixing bowl and top with dried herbs and olive oil.
Toss to coat everything together.
Place on a baking tray and bake for 40 minutes at 425 degrees F, stirring halfway.
💃Variations
If you have more veggies to use up, why not add them in?
Other vegetables you could roast include:
- Broccoli pieces
- Brussel sprouts
- Cauliflower florets
- Garlic cloves
- Green beans or French green beans
- Pearl or sweet onions
- Shallots
And if you're roasting cauliflower, be sure to make extra for this Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Curry🥘
🥣Equipment
All you need is one big pan for this recipe or 2 smaller cookie sheets for roasting.
🥡Storage
Leftover roasted potatoes and veggies are good for up to 3 days in the fridge.
They don't freeze great after roasting in the oven so I wouldn't recommend it.
🥘What to serve with roasted potatoes and carrots

Top tip
Roasting time is forgiving! If you love a super crispy carrot slice and browned with a crispy skinned-potato, leave the veggies roasting for 10 - 15 minutes more and stir them one more time on the pan so they don't get TOO crisp (aka burnt.)
Hope you love these roasted carrots and potatoes like we do.
