Ingredients

For the Chimichurri

  • 3/4 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 3/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped oregano leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • pinch red pepper flakes, optional
  • about 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
