Tips and Notes
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs bring more flavor than dried ones. Try using rosemary and thyme.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Give them space to roast. This helps achieve that crispy texture.
- Check for doneness: Cook until they are golden brown and fork-tender, about 25-30 minutes at 425°F.
- Experiment with spices: Add paprika or garlic powder to create a unique flavor.
- Serve with a dipping sauce: A garlic aioli or homemade yogurt dip livens them up.
