# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The potatoes get impossibly crispy while the beans stay perfectly tender in the same pan
  • Fresh herbs make everything smell like a fancy restaurant without any fancy technique
  • Everything roasts together so you are free to handle the main dish
02 -
  • Crowding the baking sheet will steam the vegetables instead of roasting them so use two pans if needed
  • The potatoes need a head start or you will end up with undercooked spuds and overcooked beans
  • Dried herbs work but add them with the oil so they have time to rehydrate and bloom in the heat
03 -
  • Cut any large baby potatoes in quarters so they match the smaller ones in size
  • Do not skip the parchment paper it saves you from scrubbing stuck on oil and herbs
