Ingredients:
- 6-8 medium sized potatoes, washed and cut into small chunks
- 4-6 ears of corn, shucked and cut into thirds
- 4-5 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon of paprika
- 1 tablespoon of dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon of dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon of dried basil
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, and basil.
3. Add the chopped potatoes and corn to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
4. Spread the potatoes and corn out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure that the potatoes are not too close together, as this could cause them to steam rather than roast.
5. Roast the potatoes and corn in the oven for 25-30 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Make sure to stir the mixture every 10 minutes or so to ensure even roasting.
6. Once the potatoes and corn are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- For an extra kick of flavor, add some chopped onions or bell peppers to the seasoning mixture before tossing with the potatoes and corn.
- If you're short on time, you can microwave the potatoes and corn for a few minutes before roasting them in the oven. This will help to speed up the cooking process.
- If you're cooking for a large group, you can easily double or triple the recipe to feed everyone.
