Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 6 red potatoes
  • 1 bunch broccoli (about 3 cups)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup butter
  • Juice of two lemons
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese
Instructions
  1. Microwave potatoes for 5-6 minutes. You should be able to stick a fork easily into the potato but it should still be sturdy enough to cut without turning to mush. Cut potatoes into cubes.
  2. Steam broccoli in the microwave for one minute (to steam add about ½ a cup of water and broccoli to a bowl). Drain broccoli and coarsely chop.
  3. Add potatoes and broccoli to a large mixing bowl along with garlic, onions, thyme, rosemary and one tablespoon olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix the ingredients together.
  4. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Add potato-broccoli mixture to a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Drizzle one tablespoon olive oil over the mixture.
  5. Cook for 10 minutes, then toss the mixture around to make sure everything gets cooked evenly and cook for another 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
  6. While the potatoes are roasting, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in lemon juice and a pinch of salt as soon as the butter melts and then remove from heat.
  7. Put the potato-broccoli mixture back in the mixing bowl. Add the lemon-butter sauce (if you're looking to be really healthy you can use half as much of the sauce. I used all of it and it was delicious but maybe a little too saucy if there is such a thing. You can also use half now and add half later when you heat up your leftovers!). Top with cheese and mix everything together one last time. Serve hot.
