Step-by-Step Instructions for Roasted Broccoli and Sweet Potatoes
  1. Begin by washing the broccoli thoroughly and cutting it into bite-sized florets. Peel the sweet potatoes and cube them into 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets and sweet potato cubes. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle on garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well coated.
  3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and spread the seasoned vegetables onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. Once done, remove from oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the roasted veggies before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or grated Parmesan.
