I grew up in a home where we never ate out, except on rare occasion. My mother is a fantastic self taught chef, and that's a little bit of an understatement. If there is one thing I've learned from living on my own, it's that cooking can be both very rewarding and very easy. However, when I moved back out on my own I became instantly overwhelmed with finding the time and the just the motivation to cook. So I've been there with that intimidating question, "Where do I even start?" So I've decided I'd begin posting my go-to recipes. Last night I made Roasted Potatoes & Carrots for Two. I tend to make a little more that way I can have something to grab quickly in between my work shifts.
INGREDIENTS
2 Idaho potatoes
2 cups of baby carrots
4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons of sea salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of lemon pepper
2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning
DIRECTIONS
STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 450
STEP 2: Cut your potatoes in half, and then take each half, and cut it in fourths, following by chunking it into cubes.
STEP 3: Place your potatoes and baby carrots in a ceramic, or glass pan. Drizzling the olive oil on top. (Note: You can cut your baby carrots in half, but it's not necessary)
STEP 4: Next, top it with your seasonings, so your sea salt, black pepper, lemon pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix them all together with a spatula, making sure everything is covered with oil.
STEP 5: Place in the oven for about 25-30 minutes
STEP 6: Once it's finished, serve and waa-la! You have just made delicious mouthwatering roasted potatoes and carrots for two. See wasn't that easy?
