  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 kg (2.2 lbs) small new potatoes
  • 1 head of broccoli

Seasoning & Flavor

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon coarse ground pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Zest of 1 small lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) to prepare for roasting the vegetables evenly and to achieve a crispy texture on the potatoes.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Wash the small new potatoes thoroughly. If they are larger, cut them into bite-sized pieces ensuring all pieces are similar in size for even cooking.
  3. Prepare the broccoli: Cut the head of broccoli into small, bite-sized florets, discarding the thick stems or peeling them if you choose to use them.
  4. Season the vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes and broccoli with olive oil, sea salt, dried oregano, garlic powder, coarse ground pepper, and chili flakes if using. Toss well until all vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  5. Roast the vegetables: Spread the seasoned potatoes and broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning and crispness.
  6. Add final touches: Once roasted and tender, remove from the oven and while still hot, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and the zest of one small lemon over the vegetables. Toss lightly to combine the flavors without melting the cheese completely.
  7. Serve: Transfer the roasted potatoes and broccoli to a serving dish and enjoy immediately as a flavorful side dish with your meal.

Notes

  • Use small new potatoes for the best crispiness and texture. If using larger potatoes, cut them evenly.
  • The chili flakes are optional but add a nice heat to the dish.
  • Parmesan cheese adds a savory, umami flavor but can be omitted for a dairy-free version.
  • Make sure to spread the vegetables evenly on the baking sheet to avoid steaming and ensure a crispy finish.
  • You can adjust the seasoning quantities according to your taste preferences.
