2mediumheads of broccoli cut into florets (about 3 cups of florets)
1/3cupextra virgin olive oil
1/4cuphoney
1 1/2tbspdijon mustard
1/2tsptable salt
1/4tsppepper
1/2tsppaprika
1/2tspcumin
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the broccoli into even florets and slice the carrots using a diagonal cut (see photos) until they are about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. I like to do this as a diagonal cut on the carrot rather than a circular medallion because it has more surface area.
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin.
Place the vegetables in a large bowl and drizzle with the honey mustard sauce. Mix well to coat every vegetable with the sauce.
Spread the veggies out on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes at 400 degrees F. When they are done, feel free to sprinkle with chopped parsley or another herb. Enjoy!
