Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, half of the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated, then spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, stirring halfway through.
- Sauté the onions: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the vegetables: Stir in the diced beet, green kohlrabi, red kohlrabi, sliced zucchini, summer squash, green beans, carrots, and radishes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Finish with garlic: Add the remaining minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.
- Combine: Once the potatoes are done roasting, add them to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Gently toss everything together to combine.
- Serve: Arrange the chopped lettuce on plates, top with the vegetable medley and garlic potatoes, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
