### Ingredients for Crispy Roasted Potatoes with Broccoli and Lemon Garlic Dressing

For this recipe, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients, many of which you probably already have in your pantry:

– **4 medium-sized potatoes** (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work best)
– **2 cups fresh broccoli florets** (you can also use frozen broccoli, but fresh works best for texture)
– **2 tablespoons olive oil** (plus extra for drizzling)
– **1 teaspoon dried oregano** (optional for extra flavor)
– **Salt and pepper** (to taste)
– **1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice**
– **2 cloves garlic**, minced
– **1 teaspoon Dijon mustard** (for a subtle tang)
– **1 tablespoon honey** (for a touch of sweetness, optional)
– **1 tablespoon water** (to adjust the dressing consistency)
– **Fresh parsley or cilantro** (for garnish, optional)

### How to Make Crispy Roasted Potatoes with Broccoli and Lemon Garlic Dressing

#### Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to **425°F (220°C)**. While the oven is heating, wash and peel the **potatoes** (if preferred), and then cut them into bite-sized cubes or wedges. The key to crispy potatoes is making sure they’re evenly sized, so they cook uniformly.

Toss the potato pieces in a bowl with **2 tablespoons of olive oil**, **oregano**, and a pinch of **salt** and **pepper**. Make sure the potatoes are well-coated.

#### Step 2: Roast the Potatoes
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to crisp up. Bake in the preheated oven for about **25-30 minutes**, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the potatoes to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.

#### Step 3: Prepare the Broccoli
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the **broccoli**. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, and steam or blanch them in boiling water for about **3-4 minutes**, until they are bright green and just tender. Drain well and set aside.

If you prefer to roast the broccoli for added flavor and crispness, you can toss the florets in a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them on a separate baking sheet for about **10-15 minutes** until they’re slightly charred and crispy.

Step 4: Make the Lemon Garlic Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the **lemon juice**, **minced garlic**, **Dijon mustard**, **honey** (if using), and a bit of **salt** and **pepper**. Add a tablespoon of **water** to adjust the consistency if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more lemon juice for tang or honey for sweetness.
