Creating your Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower is a breeze if you follow these clear steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli and cauliflower florets, ensuring they are cut evenly for consistent cooking.
3. Add the Oil and Seasonings: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika if using. Toss everything until the florets are evenly coated.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure they aren’t overcrowded, as this will prevent them from roasting properly.
5. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. The vegetables should be tender and slightly crispy.
6. Add Cheese (Optional): In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables. Return to the oven until melted and golden brown.
7. Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
8. Serve: Enjoy your Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower hot, as a side dish or part of a delicious meal.
