The ingredient list:

- fresh lemon zest
- fresh thyme leaves
- salt and pepper
Kitchen tools and equipment needed:

How to make lemon and thyme baby potatoes in the oven:
Preheat the oven to 425-degrees.
Follow the instructions given in the recipe but instead of adding the potatoes to the air fryer, pop them in the oven instead.
Roast them for 25-30 minutes, or until they're tender in the center and golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Can dry thyme be substituted for the fresh thyme?
Yes, but I recommend using fresh if possible.
However, if using dried thyme, instead of using 1 teaspoon (as the recipe calls for), use ½ teaspoon instead as dried herbs are stronger in flavor than their fresh counterparts.
How many people does this recipe serve?
If serving as a side dish, this recipe (as written) will serve 4 people.
That said, if you'd like to increase the number of servings, it's super simple to do by easily doubling the ingredient measurements.
*Please note - If working with an air fryer, doubling the recipe may call for making two batches, depending on how large your air fryer is.
