Toss potatoes well in olive oil and seasonings, spread in a single layer, and finish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes while watching closely.

Yes, adding carrots or green beans to the baking sheet boosts color, nutrition, and complements the flavors well.

Dried rosemary and garlic powder add fragrant, savory notes that elevate the potatoes' flavor profile.
