Instructions

1.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2.
In a large bowl, toss the purple sprouting broccoli and courgettes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp and slightly browned, and the courgettes are tender. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
4.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the lemon-garlic dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey (if using), and red pepper flakes (if using).
5.
Once the vegetables are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish and drizzle with the lemon-garlic dressing. Toss gently to coat.
6.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

For a more intense garlic flavor, let the minced garlic sit in the lemon juice for 10 minutes before adding the remaining dressing ingredients.

If you don't have purple sprouting broccoli, regular broccoli florets can be substituted.

Add a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts or parmesan cheese for extra flavour and texture.

The roasted vegetables can be served warm or at room temperature.
