Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 teaspoons za'atar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks
1 pound fingerling potatoes, cut in half lengthwise
1 medium red onion, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 lemon, cut in half
1 bunch (8 ounces) lacinato kale, ribs removed, torn into 2-inch pieces (about 4 packed cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a small bowl, mix za'atar with 2 tablespoons oil and 2 teaspoons salt.
  • With a sharp knife, cut two 1-inch-long slashes in each piece of chicken, through skin and down to bone. Rub za'atar mixture all over chicken and into slashes.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast in lower third of oven, stirring once, until starting to brown, about 20 minutes. Toss onion with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper; add to baking sheet along with chicken pieces and lemon halves. Roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest parts of chicken (not touching bones) registers about 150 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Switch oven to broiler setting. Move baking sheet to upper third of oven; broil until chicken is browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle kale lightly with oil; season with salt and pepper. Scatter kale over chicken and broil until just wilted and thermometer inserted into thickest parts of chicken registers 165 degrees, 1 to 2 minutes more. Let cool slightly, then squeeze lemon halves over chicken. Remove chicken to a platter; toss vegetables together and serve alongside.

Often called the king of herbs, za'atar is treasured for its savory-thyme-oregano flavor. The spice blend adds complexity to these crispy roasted potatoes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
2 cups fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup pine nuts
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus zest of 1 lime
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds baby red potatoes
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons ghee
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons za'atar
5 sprigs rosemary

Steps:

  • Make the herb sauce, if desired: In a food processor, combine cilantro, mint, pine nuts, and lime juice and zest. Process until finely chopped. With machine running, pour oil in a steady stream through the feed tube; process until smooth. Season with salt.
  • Make the potatoes: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring potatoes to a boil in a large pot of salted water; reduce heat and simmer until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Let cool 5 minutes, then lightly crush each potato with the heel of your hand. Drizzle generously with ghee and oil and season with salt and za'atar. Top with rosemary. Roast until golden brown and crisp, about 35 minutes. Serve with herb sauce, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For best results, use small, waxy potatoes such as fingerling or baby potatoes. These potatoes hold their shape well and become crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside.
  • Boil the potatoes first: Boiling the potatoes for a few minutes before roasting helps them cook evenly and prevents them from drying out.
  • Use a flavorful oil: Olive oil is a good choice, but you can also use avocado oil, coconut oil, or even melted butter.
  • Season the potatoes generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Zaatar is a flavorful blend of herbs and spices, but you can also add additional spices like paprika, chili powder, or garlic powder.
  • Roast the potatoes until crispy: The potatoes are done roasting when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Zaatar roasted potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, or everyday meals. With their crispy exterior and tender interior, these potatoes are sure to be a hit!
