Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head red cauliflower
- 1 head broccoli
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Cut the red cauliflower and broccoli into evenly sized florets. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.
In a small bowl, mince the garlic cloves. Mix the garlic with the olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to form a seasoning mixture.
Place the cauliflower and broccoli florets in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the vegetables and toss well to ensure they are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned florets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding, as this ensures even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through cooking, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Once roasted, remove the vegetables from the oven. Drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy it as a healthy snack on its own.
