Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Wash the broccoli and cauliflower heads and then cut them into florets. Be sure to dry them well. Place the florets in a large mixing bowl.

  3. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and minced garlic (or garlic powder). Pour this garlic-oil mixture over the florets and toss to coat evenly. Add salt, black pepper, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Chef's Notes

Notes
Even Spread: Make sure to spread the florets in a single layer on the baking sheet for even roasting.
Checking for Doneness: You can check for doneness by piercing a floret with a fork. It should be tender but not mushy.
Lemon Zest: Zesting the lemon adds a zing that elevates the overall flavor of the dish. Don’t skip this step!
Parmesan Cheese: Using freshly grated Parmesan gives a more authentic and robust flavor compared to pre-grated versions.
Optional Heat: If you prefer a spicier dish, you can increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
Serving Suggestions: This dish pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, or any protein of your choice. It can also be added to pasta or grain bowls for a complete meal.
