Ingredients

Main ingredients

2 cups Fresh Broccoli, cut into florets Look for deep green florets for best quality.
2 cups Carrots, sliced Baby carrots can also be used for ease.
3 tablespoons Olive Oil Substitute with avocado oil if desired.
3 cloves Garlic, minced Feel free to adjust the amount to taste.
1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to your taste.
1 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust to your taste.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that perfect caramelization.
Cut the broccoli into florets and slice the carrots. Aim for even sizes to ensure they cook uniformly.
In a bowl, toss the broccoli and carrots with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Cooking

Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to prevent steaming.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
Serve warm as a delightful side dish.

Notes

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan on top when the veggies are fresh out of the oven. Enjoy it as meal prep for quick lunches—pair with a protein for a balanced dish.
