Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets (bite-sized)
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed

Seasonings & Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Finishing Touches

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash broccoli and green beans thoroughly. Trim the tough ends off the green beans and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets to ensure even roasting.
  2. Toss with Oil and Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli and green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat every piece for optimal flavor and crispness.
  3. Spread Evenly on Baking Sheet: Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Avoid overcrowding to promote proper roasting and caramelization.
  4. Roast Until Tender and Crisp: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roast the veggies for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the edges turn golden and the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  5. Add Finishing Touches: After removing from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice on the roasted vegetables and sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired. Toss gently and serve immediately for the best flavor.

Notes

  • Cut broccoli and green beans to similar sizes for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming.
  • Roast at high heat (425°F) for caramelization and crispness.
  • Use fresh produce for better texture and color.
  • Flip/stir vegetables halfway through roasting for even browning.
  • Optional garnishes include toasted nuts, fresh herbs, or crumbled feta.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or sauté quickly in a hot pan.
