Instructions
- Halve potatoes.
- Strip 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) thyme leaves from the stems, then roughly chop.
- Add potatoes, half the thyme and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.

- Trim green beans.
- Add green beans to the boiling water. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 1-2 min.
