Ingredients

• 500 grams broccoli florets
• 250 grams cherry tomatoes
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse the broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes under cold water, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Trim the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces if needed. Place the broccoli and cherry tomatoes onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves finely and sprinkle them over the vegetables.

Step 5

Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the broccoli and tomatoes. Use your hands or a spatula to toss everything until well coated with oil.

Step 6

Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Toss them lightly again to distribute the seasoning.

Step 7

Spread the vegetables out into a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.

Step 8

Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the broccoli is slightly crispy around the edges and the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the vegetables from the oven and sprinkle them with lemon juice for a fresh tangy finish.

Step 10

Transfer the roasted broccoli and tomatoes to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish or over cooked pasta/rice for a light meal. Enjoy!
