Ingredients
Scale
Main Vegetables:
- 4 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Oils and Toppings:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives, chopped
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 425F (220C), creating an ideal roasting environment for the vegetables.
- Combine potatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning in a mixing bowl, ensuring each potato piece is evenly coated with the aromatic blend.
- Arrange the seasoned potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, distributing them in a single layer to promote optimal crispiness.
- Roast the potatoes for 20 minutes, rotating midway to guarantee uniform cooking and golden exterior.
- While potatoes are roasting, coat broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, creating a light, flavorful seasoning.
- After initial roasting, introduce broccoli to the baking sheet alongside the partially cooked potatoes.
- Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the entire vegetable medley, adding a rich, savory dimension.
- Continue roasting for an additional 12-15 minutes until potatoes develop a crisp, golden crust and broccoli edges become delightfully caramelized.
- Enhance the dish with a garnish of fresh parsley or chives for a burst of color and herbal freshness.
- Optional: Brighten the flavors by drizzling a touch of lemon juice over the roasted vegetables.
- Serve immediately while hot, presenting a delectable side dish or light, nutritious meal.
Notes
- Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even roasting and crispy texture.
- Use a dark baking sheet for crispier edges and better caramelization.
- Pat broccoli and potatoes dry before seasoning to help achieve maximum crispness.
- For extra flavor, marinate vegetables in herbs and garlic for 10-15 minutes before roasting.
- Replace potatoes with cauliflower or turnips for a lighter alternative.
- Substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast or dairy-free cheese alternative.
- Enhance nutrition by adding protein like diced chicken or chickpeas directly on the baking sheet.
