Ingredients
There are not a lot of ingredients you need for this recipe. Seriously. Just gather some handfuls of fresh ingredients and you're ready to bake.
- Potatoes – I like to use small red potatoes because they cook very well and become extra tender. Feel free to use Yukon golden potatoes or any type of new or baby potato variety.
- Carrots – Large carrots are used in this recipe because they contain super fresh flavors and balance out the potatoes. If you only have baby carrots, then those will work, too.
- Garlic – You can never have too much garlic for a recipe. Smashed robust garlic gives these veggies plenty of flavor and savoriness.
- Olive Oil – A good quality olive oil makes a huge difference with flavors in recipes! If you do not have olive oil, then you can use a more neutral oil like avocado or grapeseed oil.
- Salt and Pepper – A simple blend of salt and pepper gives these veggies all the yumminess they need. Since the vegetables have such naturally bold flavors, you don't need to put a lot of extra flavors on them.
- Thyme – Fresh thyme is a bright herb that is nice for roasting veggies and proteins. I like to use fresh thyme because of how bright the flavors are, but if you only have ground thyme, then that will work. The flavors will not be exactly the same.
- Green Beans – Cut the ends of the green beans and trim them so they are easy to mix within this recipe and to eat. Fresh green beans are crunchy and absorb the wonderful flavors of garlic and herbs.
- Parsley – You will use the fresh parsley for garnishing right before serving. The parsley adds extra fresh flavors to this recipe which makes it so good.
How To Roast Potatoes And Carrots With Green Beans?
These oven-roasted potatoes and carrots with green beans are simple to make for sheet-pan meals. You will love how easy this recipe is!
First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and place the rack in the middle position of the oven.
Next, add the potatoes, carrots, smashed garlic, some olive oil, salt, pepper, and roughly torn thyme to a medium-sized bowl. Toss all of the ingredients with your hands until everything is evenly combined.
Transfer the tossed and oiled vegetables to a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread them out in an even layer.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes making sure to toss the veggies halfway through cooking time.
Meanwhile, toss the green beans in a bowl with salt, pepper, and the remaining olive oil. Set the bowl aside.
Carefully, remove the cooked veggies from the oven and add the fresh green beans to the baking sheet, toss all of the vegetables together once again.
Place the oiled and seasoned veggies pan back in the oven and roast for another ten to fifteen minutes until the vegetables are tender and easily pierced with a fork or knife.
Serve the roasted vegetables on individual plates and garnish them with freshly chopped parsley. Be sure to allow them to cool a little bit before digging into them.
FAQs
In my experience, Yukon gold (yellow buttery potatoes), russet, and red potatoes are great for roasting. The textures are perfectly tender on the inside with a crisp on the outside.
Roasted potatoes and carrots are healthy because they are rich in nutrients, colorful, and gluten-free. Whole vegetables are great options for anyone looking to add an extra serving of veggies in their lives.
I typically peel the carrots before roasting just to make sure they are fully clean. You don't have to peel the skins off the potatoes because the skin is very thin and becomes tender as they roast. Just be sure to scrub and clean the potatoes with water before preparing.
You will want to roast the carrots and potatoes for at least 30 minutes until they are soft. Every oven is different so the cooking times could vary. After you had the green beans, the vegetables will roast for an additional ten minutes.
Expert Tips
- Be sure to cut all of the vegetables into similar sizes so they will evenly cook and turn out with the same soft textures.
- Do not overcrowd the vegetables on the baking sheet or else the veggies will not roast as well.
- Season the herb-roasted vegetables well so they have plent perfect flavors.

- Top the vegetables with freshly grated Parmesan, pecorino, cheddar, or other favorite type of rich cheese.
- Use an array of fresh herbs such as sage, rosemary, oregano, etc. Try my favorite Roasted Rosemary Potatoes if you love the flavor of fresh herbs in potato roasts.
