Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower
Description
In this recipe, broccoli and cauliflower florets are completely dried to prevent steaming and ensure roasting. They are combined with olive oil, fresh minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese, which is massaged into the vegetable crevices to enhance flavor during roasting. Salt and black pepper add seasoning.
Roasting at 450°F first for 10 minutes followed by stirring and an additional 5 to 10 minutes develops tenderness while preserving a slight crunch and some caramelization. The Parmesan melts and crisps slightly, contributing a rich, salty layer.
The finished vegetables provide a flavorful, hearty side dish suitable for complementing various main courses. Leftovers can be added cold to salads or warmed in omelets. Using frozen vegetables is possible by adjusting roast times and finishing under the broiler for color.

- 4 cups broccoli bite sized, florets
- 4 cups cauliflower bite sized, florets

Notes
- Ensure broccoli and cauliflower are thoroughly dried to avoid steaming during roasting.
