Instructions

  1. Preheat and prep vegetables

    1. *Preheat the oven to 425°F* and position a rack in the center. Finish the quick prep: *cut the potatoes and red onion*, zest and juice the lemon, and make sure the cauliflower is in *bite-size florets*.

  2. Season the vegetables

    2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the *Yukon Gold potatoes*, cauliflower, red onion, olive oil, dried oregano, kosher salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Toss until the vegetables are *evenly coated*.

  3. Arrange on the sheet pan

    3. Spread the mixture on a rimmed sheet pan in a *single even layer*, placing as many potato cut sides down as possible for *roasty browned edges*.

  4. Roast until browned and tender

    4. Roast for *25 minutes*, then carefully stir and flip the vegetables. Return the pan to the oven and roast until the potatoes are *fork-tender* and the cauliflower has *deep golden spots*, 15 to 20 minutes more.

  5. Add tomatoes and olives

    5. Scatter the *cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives* over the pan. Roast until the tomatoes are *softened and lightly blistered*, 8 to 10 minutes.

  6. Finish and serve

    6. Drizzle with the remaining lemon juice, gently toss on the pan, and serve hot as a *hearty dinner entree* with the vegetables *glossy, browned, and tender*.
