    This is a simple recipe that you can make with all kinds of vegetables. I chose asparagus as it was fresh for spring and paired it with some tasty broccoli florets.

    Ingredients including bunches of asparagus spears, broccoli florets, lemon, salt, pepper flakes, pine nuts and parmesan cheese.

    Ingredients

    • Fresh asparagus
    • Broccoli florets
    • Olive oil
    • Coarse salt
    • Red pepper flakes
    • Lemon juice and zest
    • Parmesan cheese - shredded
    • Pine nuts - toasted in a pan

    How to Make Roasted Broccoli and Asparagus

    Bunches of asparagus and a few spears with the bottoms broken off.

    Start by removing the tough bottom parts of the asparagus spears before cutting them into 2-inch lengths.

    Asparagus and broccoli florets cut into bite sized pieces.

    Cut the broccoli florets somewhat small too. This way they will cook at about the same rate.

    Broccoli and asparagus tossed with olive oil and spices in a large bowl.

    Toss them together in a big bowl with olive oil and spices.

    Then spread the vegetables out onto a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Toss about halfway through.

    Once the vegetables are roasted remove the baking sheet from the oven and discard any extra liquid.

    Notes

    Additions and Substitutions:
    Create this recipe to your own taste. You can add garlic cloves, and other spices to the roasting process.
    If red pepper flakes are too hot use black pepper.
    Substitute romano or asiago cheese for the parmesan cheese.
    I was able to purchase a bag of broccoli florets but if you buy a head of broccoli you can cut up the stalk into small pieces. However, since they are tough parboil or microwave them first to make them a bit more tender.
