Ingredients:

16 oz broccoli
450g
1 cup peas
120g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1 tbsp lemon juice
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Broccoli:

3. Roast the Broccoli:
- Drizzle the broccoli with half of the olive oil (2 tablespoons).

- Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and lightly browned, turning halfway through.
4. Prepare the Peas:
- If using fresh peas, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.

5. Prepare Garlic Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and lemon juice.
- Whisk to combine thoroughly.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6. Combine and Serve:
- Once the broccoli is roasted, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

- Drizzle the garlic dressing over the vegetables.
- Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
7. Final Touch:
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
8. Serve:
- Serve warm as a side dish or on its own for a light meal.

Tips:

- Ensure that the broccoli florets are roughly the same size to ensure even roasting.

- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to get a nice, crisp texture on the broccoli.

- You can use fresh or frozen peas for this recipe. If using frozen, thaw them beforehand.

- To enhance the flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or a handful of toasted nuts before serving.

- Feel free to add more lemon juice if you prefer a tangier dressing.
