Recipe walkthrough: Instructions

This is an overview of the recipe steps. For more detailed instructions visit the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

  • Step 1: To a large mixing bowl add the olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, shallots and Creole seasoning and mix well.
  • Step 2: Add the halved baby potatoes and move around in the olive oil mixture until totally coated.
  • Step 3: Lay the potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer, add a sprinkle of salt and pepper and bake in a preheated oven, on the upper rack, for 25 minutes, turning half way.
  • Step 4: Take the broccoli florets and toss them in the remaining olive oil mixture.
  • Step 5: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and scoot the potatoes over to allow room to lay out the broccoli florets.
  • Step 6: Bake for 15 more minutes, until the potatoes are tender throughout.
  • Step 7: Remove from the oven and toss together, decant to a serving dish and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and parsley.

Hint: Seasoning with the Creole seasoning gives the roasted potatoes and broccoli a delicious kick. It's not too spicy, but if you like your spice to be very mild then maybe reduce it slightly - same vice versa.

Recipe variations and substitute ideas

  • Fingerling potatoes - instead of baby yellow potatoes.
  • Brussels Sprouts - you could add these if you like them.
  • Lemon Zest - Sprinkle a little lemon zest for more zip.
  • Red Pepper Flakes - add a pinch of red pepper flakes for more heat.
  • Avocado Oil - instead of olive oil.
  • Fresh Herbs - add a little fresh herbs to the olive oil.
  • Onion Powder - a touch of onion powder instead of the shallot.
  • Baby Red Potatoes - instead of the yellow potatoes.
  • Canola Oil - this could be used instead of the olive oil.
  • Yukon Gold Potatoes - If you only have the bigger potatoes, cut into 1" cubes.
  • Sweet Potatoes - if you prefer the sweet potato, use it.
  • Italian Seasoning - add a little Italian seasoning to the olive oil.

How to store leftovers

Once the roasted potatoes and broccoli have cooled completely store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Mel's kitchen notes

You can parboil the potatoes before roasting then crush them a little. You'll get that delicious crispy crust in doing this. You won't need to roast them as long.
