I made this veggie side dish for Christmas and it came out really easy to prep ahead of time and roast the veggies while I finished up everything else. I like a good combination of vegetables and the seasoning was just right.
Roasted Broccoli and Carrots
(Adapted from Well Plated)
6 medium carrots peeled (about 10 ounces)
1 large head broccoli cut into florets (about 3 cups florets)
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese optional for serving
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously coat a large rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray.
If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Cut diagonally into 1 ½-inch thick slices, then place the carrots in the center of the baking sheet. Add the broccoli florets to the baking sheet with the carrots.
In a small bowl, stir together the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Drizzle the vegetables with the oil, then sprinkle on the spice mix. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly, then spread them into an even layer.
Place in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, until they are browned and tender, tossing once halfway through. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Enjoy hot.
