# How To Make It:

01 - Set oven temperature to 425°F.

03 - In a large bowl, combine roasted potatoes, black-eyed peas, onion, bell peppers, garlic, remaining olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, thyme, remaining salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
04 - Remove potatoes from oven after 15 minutes. Add vegetable mixture to the baking sheet and toss everything together evenly. Return to oven.
05 - Roast for another 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until potatoes are golden and vegetables are tender.
06 - Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, and serve hot.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you'd think, making weekday mornings feel less rushed.
  • The roasting method means everything gets golden and slightly crispy, which is honestly the best part.
  • You can prep the vegetables the night before and just toss everything together when you're ready to cook.
02 -
  • Don't skip the initial 15-minute roast of the potatoes alone—that head start is what keeps them from being mushy when everything comes together.
  • Stir halfway through the second roast, especially around the edges of the pan where things tend to catch and brown faster.
03 -
  • Prep your vegetables the night before and store them in containers—mornings move faster when you're just assembling and roasting.
  • If your oven runs hot, check everything around the 12-minute mark the second time around to make sure nothing's getting too dark.
