  • 2 cups broccoli (florets, cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 cups cauliflower (florets, cut into bite-sized pieces)

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400-degrees F. Place two 24-inch by 12-inch sheets of parchment paper on a clean work surface. Fold each piece of parchment in half across the width.

  • Step 2: Place two slices of lemon on each sheet of parchment, putting the lemon in the center near the fold. Evenly divide the asparagus spears between the two packets, placing them neatly on top of the lemon slices.

  • Step 3: Evenly divide the rest of the vegetables between the two sheets of parchment. Place them directly on top of the asparagus in small mounds.

  • Step 4: Drizzle each mound of vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle each packet with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

  • Step 5: Fold the other half of the paper over and make small folds around the perimeter to create a tight seal. The vegetables should be completely enclosed. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake until the vegetables are just tender, about 12-15 minutes.

  • Step 6: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully put each packet on a dinner place. Using a small knife or scissors, cut an opening in the top of each packet, being watchful of the hot steam that will escape. Season each packet to taste with salt and pepper and add another drizzle of olive oil, if desired
