👩‍🍳 Detailed Instructions

Prep the oven and potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Wash your baby potatoes well and cut any larger ones in half.
Make the honey mustard sauce
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. The aroma will be irresistible!
Coat the potatoes
Add the potatoes into the bowl and toss until each piece is fully coated in that sweet and savory glaze.
Arrange and roast
Spread the coated potatoes evenly on the baking tray. Make sure they’re in a single layer—this helps them roast instead of steam. Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through to ensure even browning.
Serve and enjoy
Once the potatoes are golden and fork-tender, remove them from the oven. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh, bright finish.

💡 Expert Tips & Variations

No Dijon? Use yellow mustard for a milder taste, or spicy brown mustard for a kick.
Different potatoes? Fingerling or regular-sized potatoes cut into chunks also work well.
Make ahead? You can coat the potatoes in the sauce a day before and refrigerate. Just roast when ready.
Leftovers? Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to bring back crispiness.
