Method
Preparation
- Wash and dry the potatoes and broccoli thoroughly. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Cut the potatoes into even 1-inch chunks and the broccoli into medium-sized florets.
- Peel and cut the tender inner broccoli stems into small rounds.
Oven Roasting
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the potato chunks, add half the minced garlic, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the broccoli florets along with rest of garlic, remaining salt and pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss to coat.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
- At the 20-minute mark, flip the potatoes, then add the seasoned broccoli to the tray, spreading it out evenly.
- Return to oven and roast for another 12 to 15 minutes until both vegetables are golden and fragrant.
- Squeeze lemon juice over the roasted vegetables immediately after removing from the oven.
Skillet Cooking (Faster Option)
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add potato chunks in a single layer and cook without stirring for 4 to 5 minutes until golden on the bottom.
- Flip potatoes and cook the other side for another 4 minutes.
- Add garlic, cook for 30 seconds, then add broccoli florets and broth. Cover with lid and steam for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove lid and let any remaining liquid cook off for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice before serving.
Notes
For best results, dry vegetables well, avoid crowding the pan, and finish with lemon juice for brightness.
