The Best Homemade Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower Recipe


  • Author: Elizabeth
  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
• 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat is crucial for achieving the perfect roasted texture.
  2. Prepare the Veggies: Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into evenly sized florets, roughly 1-inch in size. This will ensure they cook at the same rate.
  3. Toss with Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli and cauliflower florets with the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Spread the seasoned florets in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this can cause the vegetables to steam instead of roast. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the roasted broccoli and cauliflower from the oven and serve immediately, while hot and crispy. Enjoy as a side dish or incorporate into your favorite meals.
