  • Total Time: 35-45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 4 cups Broccoli (cut into florets; fresh or frozen)
  • 4 cups Cauliflower (cut into florets; fresh or frozen)

Seasoning & Toppings

  • 1/3 cup Olive oil
  • 6 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2/3 cup Grated parmesan cheese (divided)
  • Sea salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with foil or use a non-stick baking sheet without lining for easier cleanup and better roasting.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli and cauliflower florets. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, and half of the grated parmesan cheese. Toss everything thoroughly to evenly coat the florets with the oil, garlic, and cheese. Season with sea salt and black pepper according to your taste; toss again to distribute the seasoning.
  3. Arrange and roast: Spread the coated broccoli and cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet(s), ensuring they have space between them for optimal roasting and browning. Place in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes if using fresh florets, or 30-35 minutes for frozen, turning the vegetables halfway through to promote even cooking and caramelization. Look for nicely browned edges as a sign of doneness.
  4. Finish and serve: Once roasted, transfer the vegetables to a serving dish. Toss them with the remaining parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm as a flavorful, healthy side dish.

Notes

  • Using fresh vegetables usually requires a slightly shorter roasting time compared to frozen ones.
  • Ensure the florets are well spaced on the baking sheet to avoid steaming instead of roasting.
  • Feel free to substitute parmesan cheese with a vegan alternative for a dairy-free option.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle with red pepper flakes or lemon zest before serving.
  • This dish reheats well and can be enjoyed the next day as leftovers.
