Ingredients
  

For the Roasted Vegetables:
  • 1 head broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 each red bell pepper stemmed, seeded, and cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • to taste freshly ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). A hot oven will ensure your vegetables roast rather than steam, resulting in that lovely, crispy texture.
  2. Step 2: Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets. Do the same with the red bell pepper, slicing it into strips.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets and red bell pepper strips. Add the finely chopped garlic, olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated.
  4. Step 4: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring there’s enough space between them for proper roasting.
  5. Step 5: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Step 6: Once roasted, remove from the oven, taste, and adjust seasoning if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a different flavor, substitute olive oil with avocado oil or melted coconut oil.
  • Use garlic powder if fresh garlic is not available, but fresh is preferred.
  • Mix in other vegetables like cauliflower or carrots for added variety.
