For best results, use fresh, firm broccoli and cauliflower. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; roast in batches if necessary. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness. To make your own lemon-pepper seasoning, combine lemon zest, black peppercorns, and a pinch of salt in a spice grinder.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, gently toss together the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, olive oil, lemon-pepper seasoning, seasoned salt, and crushed red pepper flakes until the vegetables are evenly coated. (2 minutes)
02
StepPreheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the middle for even cooking. (5 minutes)
03
StepSpread the seasoned broccoli and cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will steam the vegetables instead of roasting them. (2 minutes)
04
StepRoast in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Then, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir the vegetables. Return to the oven and continue roasting for another 12 minutes, or until the broccoli and cauliflower are tender and slightly browned. (24 minutes)
05
StepRemove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor, if desired.
