Roasted Broccoli and Potatoes

This is a solid dinner side that gets both vegetables properly cooked - the potatoes get a 20-minute head start so everything finishes together. The lemon juice keeps the broccoli bright and the parmesan adds a nice salty finish.

Ingredients (~6 servings)

  • ~2 lbs broccoli, cut into florets (~3 heads)
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt, divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder, divided
  • 3/4 tsp ground black pepper, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Get Your Oven to 425F and Prep the Potatoes

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, combine 2 Tbsp olive oil, Italian seasoning, 3/4 tsp salt, 3/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

Add the halved baby potatoes and toss to coat completely.

Place the potatoes on one half of the prepared sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes.

The potatoes need this head start since they take longer to cook through than broccoli.

Prep the Broccoli While Potatoes Roast

In a clean bowl, combine the remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, remaining 3/4 tsp salt, 3/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

Add the broccoli florets and toss to coat.

Add Broccoli to the Pan and Finish Roasting

After the potatoes have roasted for 20 minutes, add the seasoned broccoli to the other half of the sheet pan.

Return to the oven for 15-18 minutes, until the broccoli has some charred edges and the potatoes pierce easily with a fork.

The broccoli should still have some bite to it – you don’t want it mushy.

Finish with Parmesan

Remove from oven and sprinkle with parmesan cheese if using.

Toss everything together on the pan so the cheese melts slightly from the residual heat.

Serve immediately while everything’s still hot.
