Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make sure the broccoli and cauliflower florets are roughly 1 inch wide, and arrange them in an even layer on the baking sheet.

Drizzle the florets with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper and garlic powder.

Use a rubber spatula to toss the broccoli and cauliflower until they are evenly coated in the oil.

Roast on middle rack of oven, stirring halfway through cook time, until broccoli and cauliflower are crisp-tender and slightly charred, 22-25 minutes.

Check to see that broccoli and cauliflower are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Dry for Crispier Edges 💧
Pat your broccoli and cauliflower florets completely dry with paper towels before tossing in oil to maximize browning and achieve crispy, caramelized edges rather than steamed textures.
Maximize Surface Area 🔪
Cut florets into similar, medium-sized pieces and arrange them cut-side down on the baking sheet to create maximum contact with the hot pan for deeper caramelization and flavor development.
Strategic Seasoning Placement 🧂
Toss vegetables with salt and garlic powder just before roasting rather than earlier, as this prevents moisture extraction and ensures seasonings adhere properly during the cooking process.
Don't Overcrowd the Pan 📏
Spread vegetables in a single layer with space between pieces; overcrowding causes steaming instead of roasting, resulting in soggy rather than crispy florets with golden caramelization.
Finish with Quality Oil 🫒
Drizzle a small amount of premium extra-virgin olive oil after roasting to enhance flavor and add a luxurious finish, as high heat can diminish the delicate notes of the best oils.
