Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Toss on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread potatoes out across entire sheet.) Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (we'll add the broccoli then).
- 2Meanwhile, cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces, if necessary. Peel and finely chop garlic. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and half the garlic. Microwave until garlic sizzles, 30 seconds.

Chef tips
To make sure your potatoes come out extra crispy and the broccoli stays vibrant and fresh, start roasting the potatoes about 15 minutes before adding the other ingredients to the pan. For a Mediterranean twist, swap the honey for silan (date syrup) and top the finished dish with a handful of toasted slivered almonds for a crunch that kids absolutely love.
