How To Make This Roasted Broccoli And Cauliflower
I love making this recipe because it’s so easy to prepare and doesn’t require any cooking skills. Here is everything you need to do:
- Start by preheating your oven to 220 degrees C.
- Wash your cauliflower and broccoli, then cut them into florets.
- Add your cauliflower and broccoli florets into a bowl, sprinkle the olive oil, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
- Place the vegetables on a baking tray, sprinkle with extra olive oil and bake them for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips For Making The Perfect Roasted Broccoli And Cauliflower
- Cut the cauliflower and broccoli florets almost the same size to cook evenly.
- Pay attention when you cut the vegetables: if the florets are too small, they will burn quickly; they will take much longer to cook if they are too huge.
How to Cut Cauliflower and Broccoli Correctly
- Start by removing any leaves from the cauliflower and broccoli.
- Wash the vegetables to remove any dirt.
- Then, using a sharp knife, chop the cauliflower and broccoli stems.
- Break into florets. First, break them into large florets with your fingers. You can chop them, but ensure that any long stems are removed.
Recipe Variations
- If you want your food spicy, add some red pepper chili flakes.
- You can make this recipe dairy-free by skipping the parmesan cheese.
- Before serving them, put some fresh parsley or chives on top.
Equipment Needed To Make Roasted Broccoli And Cauliflower
