A vibrant and healthy side dish showcasing the best of spring vegetables. The roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the broccoli and kale, while the lemon-garlic dressing adds a bright and zesty flavor.
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large bowl, toss the purple sprouting broccoli and kale with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the kale is slightly crispy around the edges. Turn the vegetables halfway through for even cooking.
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, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Once the vegetables are roasted, transfer them to a serving bowl.
Pour the lemon-garlic dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat.
Garnish with toasted pine nuts (optional) and serve immediately.

Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, or the vegetables will steam instead of roast. If necessary, use two baking sheets.
Roasting time may vary depending on your oven. Keep an eye on the vegetables and adjust the time accordingly.
For a richer flavor, add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving (if not vegan).
This dish is also delicious served cold or at room temperature.
