Roasted broccoli and green beans is a simple yet delicious side dish that is easy to prepare and packed with nutrients. This recipe elevates these everyday vegetables with a touch of seasoning and a hint of sweetness from a sprinkle of sugar. Whether you are looking for a quick addition to your main course or just trying to incorporate more veggies into your diet, this dish is a great choice.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash the broccoli and green beans thoroughly.
- Cut the broccoli into even-sized florets and trim the ends of the green beans. If the green beans are long, cut them in half.
- Place the broccoli florets and trimmed green beans into a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil if using. This step is optional but recommended for added flavor and better roasting.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt, a dash of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of sugar over the vegetables.
- Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned broccoli and green beans out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure there is some space between the vegetables to allow them to roast evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and have some caramelized edges. Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the roasted broccoli and green beans to a serving dish.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Enjoy your roasted vegetables as a tasty side dish!
Tips:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) before starting to ensure even cooking of the vegetables.
- Cut the broccoli into evenly sized florets to ensure they cook at the same rate as the green beans.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup.
- Toss the vegetables thoroughly with salt, pepper, and sugar to ensure even seasoning.
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a splash of olive oil or a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting.
- Check the vegetables halfway through cooking and give them a shake or a stir to promote even browning.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, as roasted vegetables tend to lose their crispiness if left to sit.
Roasting broccoli and green beans brings out their natural sweetness and creates a delightful texture contrast. With minimal ingredients and simple preparation steps, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or as a healthy addition to any meal. Enjoy the roasted vegetables hot out of the oven for maximum flavor and nutrition.
