Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups broccoli florets (firm, vibrant green)
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and washed

Seasonings & Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (good quality)
  • 2 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep Your Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the vegetables quickly, creating a crispy exterior while keeping them tender inside.
  2. Clean and Cut Vegetables: Thoroughly wash the broccoli and green beans. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and trim the ends of the green beans for even roasting and easy eating.
  3. Season with Love: Place the broccoli and green beans into a large mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, then toss with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until everything is lightly and evenly coated.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Avoid overcrowding to allow hot air to circulate and produce the crispiest roast.
  5. Roast and Stir: Roast the veggies for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring or tossing gently halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
  6. Add Final Touches: Once roasted, zest fresh lemon over the top and toss lightly to impart a bright, refreshing zing just before serving.

Notes

  • Dry vegetables thoroughly before roasting to avoid steaming and ensure crispiness.
  • Cut broccoli florets and green beans into uniform sizes for even cooking.
  • Roast at high heat to caramelize the vegetables beautifully.
  • Use fresh garlic to add bold flavor without overpowering.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; give veggies space to roast instead of steam.
