Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and dry the broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes. Cut any large broccoli florets into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the broccoli and cherry tomatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the vegetables to ensure even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred, and the cherry tomatoes are soft and blistered.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the roasted vegetables with lemon juice for a burst of freshness.
If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the warm vegetables before serving.
Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy immediately as a side dish or a light vegetarian entrée.
