Ingredients

3 cups broccoli florets
2 zucchini sliced in 1 inch pieces
3 cloves of garlic crushed
2 tsp dried herbs I used oregano and basil
drizzle of olive oil or oil-spray optional
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ lemon juiced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425º and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean and chop the broccoli in florets. Clean and slice the zucchini in half moons (about 1 inch thick). Try to chop the vegetables into roughly the same size.
Transfer the vegetables to the prepared baking sheet and add the oil, dried herbs and salt/black pepper. Use your fingers to toss the vegetables and then spread them out all over the surface of the baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes flipping halfway through.
Once done, drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: these vegetables have the best texture when enjoyed right away. If you have some leftovers, then keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat using the microwave or the oven until heated through (400º, about 10 minutes).
Once the vegetables are done, you can also add some vegan parmesan cheese for more flavor. We love this vegan parmesan dust made out of almonds, but store-bought vegan parmesan works too.
Feel free to add more flavorful ingredients if desired, such as spices (paprika, cumin), balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, etc. Check out the blog post for more ideas!
