I don't really care that it is summer and it is hot, because these days I have been wanting to roast everything. My abundance of summer squash goes into the oven, I have been making Spice Roasted Carrots like crazy, and I just made another batch of Roasted Eggplant and Red Pepper Dip this weekend. Call me crazy, but doesn't roasting make everything taste better?
Isn't this bag of little potatoes just the cutest?
Roasting also saves me time - which I don't need to remind you, is in short supply these days. So naturally, when I picked up some beautiful fingerling potatoes from Weiser Farms at the Little Italy Farmers Market, I made big plans to toss them into the oven with some olive oil, and little salt, and some fresh herbs.
Beautiful different colors of fingerling potatoes.
I love roasting sliced potatoes with some onions, red peppers, and rosemary, but for these whole fingerling potatoes I wanted something a little more rustic, so I turned to sage. I adore the soft texture of fresh sage, it just draws me in like a delicate feather. The earthy and sweet fragrance is so different from other herbs, and it pairs perfectly with fresh-from-the-ground fingerling potatoes.
