How to Make the Recipe

Let’s dive into the step-by-step process:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes, ensuring the pieces are uniform in size.
  3. Wash and cut the broccoli into florets, making sure they are bite-sized.
  4. Place the cubed potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Add the broccoli florets to the same bowl with the potatoes.
  6. Pour the olive oil over the potatoes and broccoli, ensuring everything is well-coated.
  7. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) evenly over the vegetables.
  8. Toss everything together gently to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  9. Transfer the seasoned potatoes and broccoli onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
  10. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through.
  11. Once the potatoes and broccoli are roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
  12. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot vegetables while they are still on the baking sheet.
  13. Use a spatula to gently toss the vegetables to evenly distribute the melted Parmesan.
  14. Serve immediately while warm.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some tips to ensure your dish turns out perfectly:

  • Make sure the potatoes and broccoli are dry before seasoning to help the spices stick better.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet, as this can prevent even roasting.
  • If you prefer a crisper texture, you can broil the vegetables for an extra 2-3 minutes after roasting.
  • For an extra cheesy touch, sprinkle a bit more Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
