Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces Uniform pieces roast evenly.
  • 1 lb asparagus, trimmed Snap off woody ends.
Flavorings
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Can also be pressed.
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano Substitute with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice Freshly squeezed for best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Position a rack in the center.
  2. Put the cut potatoes in a large bowl. Add the minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Add the trimmed asparagus to the bowl and toss gently to coat without breaking the spears.
Cooking
  1. Spread everything in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding so vegetables roast rather than steam.
  2. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the pieces gently halfway through so potatoes brown on both sides.
  3. Check the potatoes with a fork; they should be tender and golden. The asparagus should be crisp-tender.
  4. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately drizzle with the lemon juice. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve right away.
