Crispy Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower
This recipe features broccoli and cauliflower florets tossed in olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, and spices, then roasted at high heat until tender with crispy edges. Optional Parmesan adds a savory finish. The citrus and red pepper flakes provide brightness and mild heat.
Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli cut into florets
- 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 lemon sliced
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese optional, grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine broccoli and cauliflower in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, salt and pepper, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and lemon juice, Pour mixture over veggies and toss to coat well.
- Spread veggies out on a large baking sheet making sure the veggies are in one layer and not overlapping or piled on each other. (You can add lemon slices here if you like for added lemon flavor and garnish). If using parmesan cheese, sprinkle over veggies now.
- Cook in a preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until veggies are fork-tender and begin to brown on the edges. Serve immediately.

- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Leftover veggies can be reheated in the oven, on the stovetop, or microwave.
- These roasted vegetables freeze well for up to 6 months; thaw in the fridge before reheating.
