This lemon-roasted broccoli side dish is the perfect weeknight side. It’s quick and packed with vibrant flavors that complement any meal. We love to garnish this dish with fresh mint and oregano, but if you want to skip the fresh herbs, an extra pinch of dried herbs sprinkled over the top will work well too.

This whole roasted cauliflower is a showstopping dish with the bold, classic flavors of cacio e pepe. Infused with cheesy, garlicky goodness, each bite is complemented by a kick of black pepper. Paired with a cool, creamy sauce, the warm, tender cauliflower creates the perfect contrast, making it as satisfying to eat as it is impressive to serve.

One pan is all you need for a heaping pile of nutritious, tender and colorful roasted root vegetables. Whip up this recipe at the beginning of the week to use in easy, healthy dinners all week long.

Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Broccoli

Broccoli is roasted until brown and crispy, then topped with Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar for a savory and sweet flavor combination that can’t be beaten. Try this quick vegetable dish along with chicken, fish or really any main course. It’s also great in salads or warm grain bowls.

Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini-Yogurt Sauce

This roasted cauliflower with tahini-yogurt sauce takes simple roasted cauliflower to new heights with bold, Middle Eastern and North African–inspired flavors. Harissa sauce adds spice and complexity to the yogurt sauce. If you can’t find harissa sauce, you can use harissa paste in its place. However, since the paste is more concentrated, use only half the amount specified in the recipe.

Roasted Golden Beets

Golden beets are sweet and earthy just like red beets, but prepping them is a little less messy thanks to their mellower golden color. Roasting beets enhances their sweetness, but we give their flavor a boost with just a touch of honey.

Salty pancetta and creamy goat cheese pair up with smashed Brussels sprouts in this easy side. Make sure the sprouts are dry and spread them out evenly on the baking sheet to ensure your sprouts crisp up nicely.
