What You Need
Servings: 4 (or just 1 if you’re really hungry for veggies!)

• 1 bunch broccoli
• 1 bunch cauliflower
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• A dash of sea salt (or more if you like it salty!)
• A dash of pepper
• 4 garlic cloves, minced (yep, the more garlic, the better!)
• Juice from 1 lemon (for that zesty kick!)

Instructions:

• Preheat the Oven to 425°F – Yes, you read that right—425! It’s time to roast these veggies into crispy, golden perfection. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with olive oil. Bonus points if you use your favorite fancy olive oil.
• Wash & Dry Those Veggies – I know, I know, washing veggies is the least exciting part. But trust me, it’s important. Dry them thoroughly so they’ll roast beautifully, not steam into sad mush. Once they’re dry, chop the roasted broccoli and cauliflower into small florets.
• Toss ‘Em Up – In a medium bowl, combine the florets, olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Use your hands, a spoon, or even a dance move to toss everything together. Just make sure every floret is coated in that garlicky goodness.
• Roast Away – Spread the florets out evenly on your prepared baking sheet. Pop them in the oven for 25 minutes, giving them a little stir halfway through. The goal is crispy edges and tender centers. When you pull them out, you should see that golden brown perfection forming.
• Lemon Love – Squeeze the juice of one lemon over your roasted veggies, and voilà! You now have a bowl of crispy, zesty, veggie goodness ready to be devoured.
• Enjoy Immediately – Don’t wait around! These roasted beauties are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the garlic flavor is still kicking and those crispy edges are on full display.
