Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups 1-inch broccoli florets (about 1 medium broccoli crown)
- 3 cups 1-inch cauliflower florets (about 1/2 medium head)
- Kosher salt
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 lemon, optional
Instructions
- Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the broccoli and cauliflower in a single layer, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, undisturbed, until the undersides are browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring every 1 to 2 minutes, until browned all over and crispy and tender, about 5 minutes more.
- Reduce the heat to medium and push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the empty side and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Mix the garlic into the vegetables and add a large splash (about 3 tablespoons) of water. Squeeze in half a lemon, if using. Cook, stirring, until the juices have evaporated.

Perfect! And so easy!!
A go-to recipe in our house! Always fresh and tasty as a side to any chicken or fish dish.
Yum! Made it as directed and loved every bite!
Very, very tasty. Easy instructions, too. I didn’t add the last Tbs of oil and halfed the lemon juice. Thanks for the recipe!
Excellent recipe for broccoli & cauliflower. Extremely easy & quick. Very tasty. I sprinkled a little parmigiano reggiano before serving.
Extremely tasty and a hit with the picky kids! I made it as written. It was a bit too much oil and lemon for our tastes, but still a 5 star recipe. Next time, I will use 1/4-1/2 lemon and not add the 3rd Tbs of olive oil.
My husband and I really enjoyed this. The recipe was also available on The Today Show last week but the lemon was not mentioned. I saw this episode a few days later and was making the vegetables that night, so the lemon was a welcome addition. So easy and delicious!
