Ingredients
Principal components:
- Cut one-inch cubes from three medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes.
- Two cups of fresh broccoli florets
- Two tablespoons of Olive Oil
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- One teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika.
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- optional ¼ tsp red pepper flakes for some heat
optional garnishes
- Fresh parsley minced; lemon zest or juice
- extra Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Step 1: oven preheat
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Either gently greasily cover a baking sheet with cooking spray or parchment paper.
Step 2: Get ready for the potatoes.
- Toss the potato cubes in a big basin with olive oil, half of minced garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, oregano, and thyme.
- On the ready baking sheet, evenly place the potatoes.
Step 3: roast the potatoes. First
- Stirring halfway through, roast the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes until they crackle and turn golden brown.
Step 4: Include the broccoli.
- Mix the broccoli florets in a basin with the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil, the rest of the garlic, and a little salt and pepper while the potatoes bake.
- Remove the tray from the oven and add the broccoli after the first roasting period. Just stir everything together.
Step 5: Finish Roasting Parmesan
- Over the potatoes and broccoli, equally, scatter grated Parmesan cheese.
- Once more in the oven, roast for another ten minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and the broccoli is just a little browned.
Step 6: Present and Savour
- After removing it from the oven, top it with fresh parsley, lemon zest, or extra Parmesan.
- Present warm as a side dish, or eat straight out of hand!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, spread the potatoes and broccoli in a single layer without overcrowding.
- For a vegan version, replace Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast or vegan Parmesan.
- If using frozen broccoli, do not thaw before roasting—just add an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time.
