- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Cheese & Garnish
- â…“ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved or quartered baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to evenly coat them with the spices and oil.
- Roast the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to start cooking and crisping the potatoes.
- Prepare the Broccoli: While the potatoes are roasting, toss the broccoli florets in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt to season.
- Add Broccoli and Parmesan: After the potatoes have roasted for 20 minutes, add the seasoned broccoli to the baking sheet with the potatoes. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the vegetables and toss gently to combine.
- Finish Roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 15–20 minutes until the potatoes are crispy and golden and the broccoli is tender with slight charring.
- Optional Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve the roasted Parmesan potatoes and broccoli warm as a tasty and wholesome side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil the vegetables for the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.
- You can use frozen broccoli (thawed and patted dry) if fresh isn’t available.
- Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
