Ingredients

1 broccoli
8 carrots
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C/355°F.
Cut the broccoli into bite sized florets, and quarter the carrots into sticks. It’s important that the broccoli and carrots finish roasting in the same amount of time, to make sure that the carrot sticks aren’t too thick.
Coat the vegetables in vegetable oil, salt and pepper, and place them on a baking tray. Bake them in the oven until they have reached the texture you want. For lightly roasted vegetables with crunch, roast them for 25-30 minutes. If you want the roasted broccoli and carrots to be softer, roast them for 40-45 minutes.

Top tips

Don't be shy with the seasoning! The salt and pepper helps to bring out the flavor from the broccoli and carrots.
This recipe is a perfect way to use up leftover carrots that might be nearing their expiration!
Don't be tempted to increase the temperature to speed up the process. This will just make the broccoli burn before the carrots have roasted through.
