Baked Honey Roasted Garlic Potatoes

1-pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled 

1 head garlic

3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 

4 tablespoons honey 

½ - 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika 

1 ½ teaspoons minced rosemary 

Sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Handful minced fresh parsley, for topping

 

1.     Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.     Cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges or in half if small, and transfer to a bowl.

3.     Separate the cloves from the head of garlic leaving the skin on. Cut a small slit on each clove and add it into bowl.

4.     Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and garlic, then add the honey, paprika, rosemary and season with salt and black pepper. Toss and mix well.

5.     Transfer the potatoes to the baking tray. Bake for 20-30 minutes depending on size of potatoes. Turn the potatoes over after 10 minutes. Test doneness by inserted a toothpick in the center of a potato.

6.     Gently mix the potatoes in the baking tray and remove the skins of the garlic before transferring into a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

  

 

Why keep the skin on the garlic?

On a culinary level, cooking garlic with the peel has the advantage of preserving the internal juice and therefore giving a more delicate flavor to the dish. Garlic with skin can withstand higher temperatures much longer without burning. In this recipe you will enjoy the roasted garlic as much as the delicious potatoes.
