Broccoli and asparagus are both nutrient-dense vegetables, packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. When roasted with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, they become even more irresistible. The high heat of the oven caramelizes the natural sugars in the vegetables, bringing out their natural sweetness and creating a deliciously crispy exterior. The bright and zesty flavor of the lemon adds a refreshing and citrusy kick, elevating the dish to a whole new level. Whether you're looking for a simple and healthy side dish or a flavorful addition to your meal, this Lemon-Roasted Broccoli and Asparagus is sure to be a hit.
