  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 ½ pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1 inch slices
  • 1 large head of broccoli, about 1 pound, cut into large florets

Seasonings

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika powder, sweet or smoked
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Garnish

  • Chopped parsley, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the vegetables properly, allowing them to crisp and caramelize beautifully.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Peel the carrots and slice them into 1 inch pieces. Cut the broccoli into large florets, ensuring pieces are somewhat uniform in size for even cooking.
  3. Toss with Oil and Spices: In a large bowl, combine the carrots and broccoli with olive oil, sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly with the seasoning and oil.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet or roasting pan. Avoid overcrowding so the vegetables roast instead of steam.
  5. Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, stir or flip the vegetables to promote even roasting and browning.
  6. Check for Doneness: The broccoli should be tender with crisp edges and the carrots should be soft yet slightly firm. If needed, roast for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the vegetables from the oven, transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
  • Use smoked paprika to give the vegetables a subtle smoky taste.
  • To make it vegan, omit any cheese toppings.
  • Make sure to cut vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional, adjust according to your spice preference.
