Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh broccoli cut into florets
  • 2 large red bell peppers sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tsp paprika or chili flakes for extra flavor Optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prep the Vegetables: Wash and dry the broccoli. Cut into even-sized florets. Slice red bell peppers into 1-inch strips.
  3. Season the Veggies: In a large bowl, toss broccoli and red pepper slices with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. If desired, add paprika or chili flakes for extra flavor.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables in an even layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure they roast evenly.
  5. Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the broccoli is crispy around the edges and the peppers are tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a side dish or part of your main meal.

Notes

Make sure to flip the veggies halfway through to get even roasting.
Don’t overcrowd the pan; this will cause the veggies to steam rather than roast.
Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings like lemon zest or Parmesan cheese for added flavor after roasting.
