How to Make Sheet Pan Oven Roasted Potatoes Green Beans and Carrots
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. While waiting, chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, which helps them roast evenly.
- In a large bowl, mix the chopped potatoes, green beans, and carrots with olive oil, ensuring every piece is coated; it should feel pleasantly oily.
- Spread the vegetables onto a sheet pan in a single layer. This helps them roast instead of steam, bringing out that golden crisp.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and the veggies are tender—love that sizzling sound in the oven!
Pro Tips & Troubleshooting
- During my tests, a quick soak of the chopped potatoes in cold water helped achieve extra crispiness—definitely worth the wait!
- A common mishap is overcrowding the pan, leading to steaming instead of roasting; make sure to give each piece space.
- Feel free to experiment with seasonal veggies like zucchini or bell peppers for added variety.
- If you’re doubling the recipe, use two sheet pans instead of one to maintain even cooking.
Storage & Make-Ahead Guide
Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. For long-term storage, you can freeze them for about 3 months. I found that reheating in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes retains that delightful texture.
