½Yellow onion
5cupsBroccoli Florets with some stemabout a head of broccoli
2tablespoonsExtra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees.
Make the seasoning blend by adding all ingredients to a small mixing bowl, then stir to combine. Store in a plastic storage container or baggie.
Clean the broccoli and cut off 5 cups of florets and top of the stems. Place the cut broccoli in a large bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon Olive Oil over the broccoli and toss to coat. Then Sprinkle with HALF of the seasoning blend and rub it all over to coat the broccoli. Set aside.
Cut the onion into slices. Place onto a large sheet pan. Cut the potatoes into 1 inch pieces and also place on the pan. Drizzle 1 tablespoon Olive Oil over the potatoes and onions and toss to coat. Then Sprinkle with the remaining seasoning blend and rub it all over to coat the potatoes. Spread the potatoes and onions out into a single layer.
Place the potatoes and onions in the preheated oven and roast them for 20 minutes.
Remove the pan and using a spatula, scrape up the potatoes gently and flip them so that they can brown on all sides. Add the broccoli to the pan in between the potatoes making sure everything is in a single layer. Then place back in the oven to roast for 10 minutes more until the broccoli is slightly browned and tender.
