These rosemary garlic potatoes are a perfect side dish to compliment nearly any meal! They are super healthy and taste ahh-mazing! When you are looking for a healthy complex carb that’s easy-peazy to put together – this is the perfect side dish.

I like to use parchment paper in the oven to help keep the potatoes crispy on the outside. The oven is nice because you can just leave it for 20 minutes at a time and the potatoes are all done at the same time.

Alternatively, the air fryer works perfectly for potatoes. If you are doing a smaller batch (for one or two servings) the air fryer would probably work better. Just keep in mind, if you use an air fryer, don’t have more than one layer as the steam will make them soggy.

You can always opt for fresh garlic and rosemary, it would probably give the potatoes a better flavor. I didn’t have any on hand and just used garlic powder and dried rosemary. They still came out great! My husband said something like, “I don’t know what you did to these but please do this again.” So either dried or fresh seasoning will work.

One (or two I guess) tips I have is to upgrade your salt and pepper.

We use kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Kosher salt is not the same thing as sea salt. Kosher salt is mined from the earth and has less of a strong salty taste. We use it in all our cooking. Sea salt (obv from the sea) has a strong salty flavor, which can be overdone easily. Kosher salt always seems to bring a nice balance to our food. Get yourself a salt cellar (not a mill) to store your salt. We aren’t grinding kosher salt here. I love this one with the spoon, we have one just like it.

As for fresh ground pepper, well, the more fresh the better, right? I can definitely tell the difference in our cooking when we use fresh ground pepper. You’ll be using your pepper mill daily so make sure to get a good one. I think ours cost something ridiculous like $75! But I found this one with good reviews and I like that it’s wood, not plastic.

Everything I post on this website supports eating healthy but not compromising flavor. By making the switch, I’m sure you will be able to see why. These are small but powerful trade-offs from your typical table salt and pepper.
