ROASTED FINGERLING POTATOES AND CARROTS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425º. Scrub fingerlings clean, pat dry then halve lengthwise. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray, then drizzle vegetable oil, tilting the pan to make sure the oil is evenly distributed. In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk cornstarch and ½ cup water until evenly combined. Microwave the cornstarch slurry in 20 second bursts, whisking after each interval, until sticky like pudding, about 1 to 1 ½ minutes total. Add potatoes to the cornstarch slurry and toss to coat. (The potatoes will look a little strange but this coating ensures maximum crispiness.) Place the potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet, leaving a bit of space in between each one. Cover the sheet tightly with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. Roast for 12 minutes.
  Remove the foil and continue to roast until the cut side of each potato is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Toss potatoes with rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Return to the oven and cook until the garlic is fragrant and golden brown, about  5 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, give them a quick toss, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• On a large baking sheet with sides, add half the lemon slices to half of the sheet and arrange the chicken skin-side up over them. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Hit the chicken with a few dashes of paprika, then move on to the other half of the sheet. Add the potatoes and carrots cut-side down to the empty half of the sheet. Top everything with the thyme and rosemary, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Over the portion of the baking sheet with the chicken, add the remaining lemon slices and season again with salt, pepper and paprika.
• Roast until the chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes. Discard the rosemary, thyme and lemon slices. Remove the chicken from the sheet and cover gently with aluminum foil (no need to crimp the edges, just lay it over it until ready to serve).
