Roasted Broccoli and Potatoes are a Very Simple Combo of Healthy and Comfort Food. They are roasted with tons of Garlic, Oregano, Parsley, Thyme, and Pepper.
Every recipe I have made with “tons of garlic” has been a giant hit. Case in point: My Pizza Sauce recipe. This recipe has fresh veggies roasted and pureed, but is that the motivating factor?
Oh, no!
It is the “tons of garlic” which has made all of you drool.
Roasted Vegetables Make the Perfect Vegetarian or Vegan Side Dish
I have had readers tell me that they made my pizza sauce and garlic bread recipes for the same meal! Those 2 recipes combined have enough garlic to wade away vampires for 10 lifetimes.
Second case in point: my garlic butter potatoes. Nobody cares so much about the butter but the “tons of garlic” really gets them to sit up and take notice.
So, I feel it is safe to assume that all of you are ginormous fans of garlic. I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw you consume it with every meal and even as an afternoon snack. I don’t see anything wrong with that!!
The broccoli and potatoes go into the oven like this…
….. and come out looking like this!
Have I succeeded in making you drool uncontrollably?
For any broccoli recipe, adding a little comfort food always makes even the broccoli haters love the recipe. In this case, the potatoes will lure them into eating this roasted broccoli dish.
So, recipes with potatoes and broccoli will be a huge hit at your Thanksgiving table.

How to make oven roasted broccoli with potatoes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1) Take 2 broccoli crowns and cut them into bite-size pieces
2) Take 4 small red potatoes and cut them into bite-size pieces. I like to keep the potato skin
3) Finely chop 5 cloves of garlic and put them into a mixing bowl
4) Add the cut broccoli and potatoes to the mixing bowl
5) Add 2 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil to the bowl
6) Add 1 tsp of salt to the bowl
7) Add 1 tsp of each of these dried herbs – Oregano, basil, thyme
8) Add a ¼ tsp of Rosemary
9) If you are using cayenne pepper and black pepper, add it to the bowl
10) Use two wooden spoons to gently mix all the ingredients together
11) Spread the broccoli and potatoes on a baking tray. Spread evenly and make sure there are very few gaps
12) Place in the oven for 25 minutes or until the broccoli starts to brown. Also, pierce a potato with a knife tip. It should pierce easily
13) Remove from the oven
14) Drizzle 1 tsp of lemon juice on the veggies and toss gently
15) Grate Parmesan directly onto the veggie. (Affiliate Link) Go Veggies makes a great vegan Parmesan cheese.
Serve this roasted broccoli and potatoes immediately.

Recipe came out perfect at 25 min. I used a little more oil, and spices were perfect. Would be so good with a pork loin!
Healing Tomato says
Thank you so much, Marie! I am happy to see that you liked it. 🙂
Sue M. says
It was very good; however, I raised the temp to 375 degrees and had to cook 45 minutes. The potatoes were still hard after 25 minutes! I cut them up very small, too, so I’m curious if anyone else had the same problem.
Rini says
Thanks, Sue. It does depend on your oven and your location. It’s weird, I know. But, thanks for the info. I will recreate this recipe and see if I need to change the temperature. Here is a good article on varying oven temperatures. https://www.bettycrocker.com/how-to/tipslibrary/baking-tips/baking-cooking-high-altitudes
Michelle Duncan says
25 minutes was WAY too short for my potatoes. I had to continue cooking another 30 minutes.
DH says
These vegetables were seasoned with the perfect combination of herbs. So tasty!
Healing Tomato says
Thank you, DH. I am so glad you like dit.
JH says
Hi! The ingredients are so readily available, I’m ready to try! Did you set your oven to 350 degree Celsius or Fahrenheit? Thank you!
Healing Tomato says
Thank you, JH. The temperatures are in Fahrenheit.
Sly says
I needed to cook them for longer than 25 mins and they were small pieces. Great recipe!

I was searching the internet for a recipe and clicked on yours only to discover that you have the same (very unique) name as my mom. What a funny coincidence! The recipe sounds delicious by the way, I plan to make it for dinner.
Healing Tomato says
Thank you, Larasati. Your mom has a very cool name! 🙂
Sandi says
There are so many things to love about garlic!! I can see why your garlic recipes do so well 🙂
Cheryl says
Love it. I par boiled the potatoes first to cut down the oven time. Its 101 degrees here, lol

I make something similar and it is a favorite in our household all the time, especially with the kiddo!

Rini, I grew up with a broccoli and potato dish. While this is very different, my grandmother’s was a boiled kind of thing, this brings me right back to that time. Love it. I just brought home some beautiful big garlic from the farmer’s market today, this would be a great dish to highlight it.
