Ingredients

  • 1 cup broccoli florets small sized one broccoli
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets half a big cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoon cream cheese I have used Amul. any good brand can be used.
  • 2 tablespoon grated Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • salt as per taste
  • 1 twig cilantro leaves optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash, dry, and cut cauliflower and broccoli into bite-sized florets. This step can be done ahead of time- a day or night before.
  2. In a sheet pan, apply olive oil and spread the florets of broccoli and cauliflower. Sprinkle a little salt and black pepper and brush with olive oil.Bake for about 10 min or till lightly browned in a preheated OTG at 150℃
  3. While the veggies are baked, you may prep the cream cheese sauce. In a small bowl, freshly grate the Mozzarella cheese and add cream cheese to it. Spice with salt and black pepper and mix it well.
  4. Once the veggies are baked, transfer them to the cream cheese mixture and mix well. Transfer mixture to a greased baking casserole dish. You may top it with shredded cheese and bake in a preheated OTG (you may use the oven as well) at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 10 minutes or until the cheese starts melting and gets browned.
  5. Top your Easy Keto Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole with cilantro and serve hot! 

Notes

  • I suggest NOT blanching as that makes broccoli and cauliflower a bit soggy. Wash and dry them before use for best results to avoid any excess water they may have absorbed. I have roasted them in OTG for about 10 min before mixing them with cheese. This makes them crisp and double roasting in OTG makes them more crispy.
  • The roasting of chopped cauliflower and broccoli can be done in an Instant pot, oven or air fryer as well.
