Almost Diana Henry's Roasted Potatoes and Tomatoes

Serves 2 -3

Ingredients:

1 lb. fingerling potatoes, washed and cut into uniform chunks
½ lb. cherry tomatoes on the vine, washed and intact
1 ½ tsp. ground coriander
¾ tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. smoked paprika
3 tbsp. olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper, generous sprinkles
2 scallions, washed and sliced into thin coins
1 tbsp. flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Preheat the oven to 375 °F and spritz a heavy roasting pan with pan spray.

Place the prepared potatoes and tomatoes in the pan.

In a small fry pan, toast the spices over medium high heat until a scented smoke begins to rise from the pan. Remove from the heat immediately and add the olive oil, stirring to make a spicy slather.

Drizzle the spices and oil over top the potatoes and tomatoes. Sprinkle with the Kosher salt and pepper and pop into a preheated oven.

Bake for about 35 to 45 minutes, shaking the pan around a bit during the cooking to get the spicy sauce to coat the vegetables.

Remove from oven when potatoes are knife tender. Sprinkle with the scallions and parsley and serve.


Note: These roasties are very like Spanish Patatas Bravas, only without all the oil and frying. They go perfectly with grilled meats and a salad or green vegetable.

    2 Things:
    1. I've been meaning to roast tomatoes for 3 days now. By now, the tomatoes are probably bad. Sad face.
    2. I see that Salmon Falls vase in the last photo. Ferris BROKE MINE LAST NIGHT AT 3AM! Double sad face.

  2. So easy!

    You know I'll be making these! Hey, what happened to the green beans from the first photo? I didn't see them in the final photo? Were they cooked separately?
