Roasted Broccoli and Carrots

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) with the rack set in the center of the oven. Prepare a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and chop broccoli into 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

Peel the carrots, rinse, and cut diagonally into ¼-inch slices. Add the carrots to the bowl.

Step 4

Separate the cloves of garlic. Place the cloves on a cutting board, and with a large knife and some pressure, press down on each garlic clove until it peels. Discard the paper and trim away the root end of each clove; add to bowl.

Step 5

Add oil, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss with tongs, making sure your seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Scatter vegetables on the sheet pan. Roast 15 minutes. Rotate the pan 180 degrees and roast another 10 minutes. Remove pan from the oven. Serve hot.
