  • Author: Chloe
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
– 2 cups baby carrots (or regular carrots, sliced)
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or thyme)


Instructions

Creating this incredible Roasted Broccoli and Carrots dish involves simple steps that anyone can follow:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is essential for roasting.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: Rinse the broccoli florets and baby carrots thoroughly, then pat them dry with a clean towel.
3. Season the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli and carrots. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder over the top. Toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
4. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they aren’t overcrowded for even roasting.
5. Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
6. Check for Doneness: The vegetables should be tender and slightly browned. A fork should easily pierce through the broccoli and carrots.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, and if desired, sprinkle fresh herbs over the top before serving. Enjoy your roasted side dish hot!

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating an amazing dish with minimal effort.
