Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs (680 g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 lb (450 g) broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or extra Parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, toss potato pieces with 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic, thyme, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on one side of the baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss broccoli florets with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- After 20 minutes, remove tray and push potatoes to one side. Add broccoli to the sheet.
- Sprinkle Parmesan evenly over potatoes and broccoli.
- Return to oven and roast for another 12–15 minutes, until potatoes are golden and broccoli edges are crisp.
- Remove from oven, toss gently to coat in melted Parmesan, garnish with parsley or extra cheese, and serve hot.
Notes
- Cut potatoes into uniform pieces so they roast evenly. Yukon Gold or russets work well.
- For gluten-free version, ensure Parmesan is certified gluten-free.
- Use pre-shredded Parmesan for convenience—look for finely grated varieties for better melting.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after roasting for brightness.
- Leftovers store in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven to re-crisp.
