🥦 Ingredients
- Mushrooms: 1 pound of mushrooms, any type will do (I used button in this recipe)
- Broccoli: you’ll need about 2 heads of broccoli, which is about 3 cups
- Garlic cloves: cut fresh cloves into thin slices
- Olive oil: start with 2 tablespoons and add more if needed to coat the vegetables
- Salt and pepper: adds a dash of flavor
- Recommended tools: sheet pan, set of knives, and a cutting board
🥣 Recipe instructions (with step-by-step photos)
1️⃣ Step One: Prep oven and veggies
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 C). Wash and then dry the vegetables.
- To cut mushrooms: Wash mushrooms then slice into thin slices, though you could roast whole as well
- To cut broccoli: Cut the broccoli florets from the hard stem (save the stem, it’s edible!)
2️⃣ Step Two: Season and add to baking sheet
Place the broccoli and mushrooms on a baking sheet or roasting pan.
Toss the vegetables with olive oil until completely coated. Sprinkle garlic on top, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
3️⃣ Step Three: Bake broccoli and mushrooms
Roast the vegetables for 25 minutes or until just browned, making sure to stir the vegetables halfway through cooking time.
If the mushrooms are cooking faster than the broccoli, simply remove them to a plate and continue to cook the broccoli until it is browned.
Serve immediately, or let cool and save for later as a topping for salads or bowls.
❓Recipe questions + quick tips
To minimize prep on cooking day, wash and cut the vegetables in advance. If you’re using mushrooms and broccoli as a topping for salads or bowls, bake the vegetables up to three days ahead of time.
Cut the broccoli and mushrooms into same-sized pieces to help them roast evenly. Also, separate the vegetables on the pan rather than mixing them together so you can remove one vegetable if it is cooking faster.
💡 Ideas for seasoning
This recipe is a foundation, but get creative with these seasoning ideas:
- Fresh or dried herbs: add basil, thyme, or oregano for an herb flavor
- Garlic and lemon: add a squeeze of fresh lemon with thick garlic slices
🧊 How to store leftovers
- Refrigerator storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a pan over medium heat on the stove.
- Freezer storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container or freezer-friendly bag for up to one month. Place in refrigerator for 24 hours to thaw, then reheat in a pan or place in the oven for 10-15 minutes to recrisp the vegetables.
