I think I love it so much because it's EASY. It doesn't require me to stand over the stove and monitor a pot (or three pots).
My family also likes the TASTE of roasting. It's sometimes difficult to get children to eat their veggies, but I find that Little Guy eats most veggies I give him that are roasted. Example #1: My roasted sausage, potatoes and brussels sprouts recipe. Who knew a kid would love brussels sprouts!?
I would say I roast at least twice a week, and make some kind of french fries at least once a week. Here's an easy recipe for my current favorite french fry recipe:
Rosemary Thyme Oven Baked Fries
Ingredients:
- Potatoes
- Olive oil
- Rosemary
- Thyme
- Sea salt
Directions:
- Cut potatoes into french fry sized pieces
- Spray roasting pan with olive oil and scatter fries on it
- Sprinkle sea salt, rosemary and thyme over the fries - to your liking/taste
- Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, turning at least once
There are so many yummy french fry options...what's your favorite kind of seasoning for french fries?
Oh my gosh, these look so good, K!! I am going to try these soon.
