Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cut zucchini into 1-inch-long chunks, about 1/2-inch thick, and set aside covered with plastic wrap.

Mince garlic with rosemary leaves and sea salt until the mixture forms a coarse paste.

In a 14-by-9-inch baking dish, combine the garlic-rosemary paste with olive oil.

Add potatoes to the dish and toss well to coat evenly with the oil mixture.

Roast potatoes for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once or twice with a spatula to ensure even browning.

Add the zucchini to the baking dish and toss gently to combine with the potatoes.

Note
If using dried rosemary, substitute 1 tablespoon for the 2 fresh sprigs.
For extra crispiness, ensure the potatoes are dry before tossing with oil and spread them in a single layer without overcrowding the pan.
Zucchini cooks faster than potatoes, so adding it halfway through prevents it from becoming soggy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain texture.
