    Roasted Potatoes and Broccoli make a delectable, two-in-one side dish that's worthy of your holiday table, but easy enough for a busy weeknight dinner. With just 10 minutes of prep, you'll enjoy crispy potatoes and tender, lightly charred broccoli roasted at the same temperature on a single sheet pan. The key is getting your timing right.

    As you may already know, potatoes take longer to roast than broccoli. They'll roast on one baking sheet at the same temperature, but for different lengths of time.

    Ingredients You Need to Make Roasted Potatoes and Broccoli

    Roasted Potatoes and Broccoli Ingredients on a white marble board.
    • Potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes or other semi-waxy or waxy potatoes like red potatoes or white potatoes
    • Olive Oil: ideally good extra virgin olive oil
    • Parmesan Cheese: or Pecorino Romano cheese
    • Broccoli: florets and trimmed stems
    • Garlic: a couple of fresh garlic cloves
    • Lemon: ideally fresh lemon juice
    • Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper

    Key Step

    To give the potatoes a head start in the oven, arrange them on half of a lined baking sheet, leaving the other half to add the broccoli later. With the right timing, they'll be roasted to perfection at the same time. A sprinkle of parmesan cheese and a bit of salt and pepper and you're ready to serve.

    Recipe Options

    • This is a recipe that you can easily adjust to suit your tastes. Want really crispy potatoes? Increase the overall baking time. Like really tender broccoli with lots of char? Add it earlier. As a basic indicator of doneness, the potatoes should be crispy on the outside and creamy within, while the broccoli is tender with lightly charred edges. I've offered the baking times that I prefer, but encourage you to adjust them any way you like.
    • Swap parmesan cheese for another grated hard cheese like Pecorino Romano or Asiago. Or sprinkle on a good melting cheese like cheddar or Monterey jack.
    • Adding more garlic or lemon juice for an added flavor punch.
    • Swap in sweet potatoes or cauliflower for a fresh twist on the dish.

    Make it a complete meal.

    To make this sheet pan recipe a luxurious meal on it's own, just add fillets of salmon, cod or other firm white fish to the same baking sheet for the last 12 to 15 minutes of baking time. Drizzle the fish with a little olive oil and season simply with salt and pepper and/or fresh or dried herbs like dill or thyme.

Spread onto other half of baking sheet after the potatoes have roasted for 25 minutes and bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; bake 10 minutes more. Gently stir potatoes and broccoli together and transfer to serving bowl; sprinkle with more cheese if desired and serve.
