Best 5 Broccoli And Carrots With Creamy Parmesan Sauce Recipes

BROCCOLI WITH CREAMY PARMESAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim 1/2 inch off broccoli stalks; remove the tough outer layer with a vegetable peeler. Cut the broccoli lengthwise so the florets attached to the long stalks are 1 to 2 inches wide. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a Dutch oven fitted with a steamer basket. Steam the broccoli until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk flour and 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl until smooth. Heat the remaining 3/4 cup milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming. Whisk in the flour mixture; cook, whisking, until thickened, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat; add cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg (if using). Drizzle over the broccoli. Serve warm.

PARMESAN-ROASTED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets, discarding the rest of the stalks. Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 8 cups of florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
• Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, pine nuts, Parmesan, and basil. Serve hot.

BROCCOLI AND CARROTS IN CREAMY PARMESAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Place broccoli and carrots in 1 inch of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Boil 5-7 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender or done to your liking. Drain and keep warm.
• While vegetables are cooking, combine cream cheese, parmesan, milk, butter, garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook mixture, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and mixture is smooth, hot and creamy. Do not boil cheese sauce.
• Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
• Plate hot vegetables and cover with cheese sauce.
• Sprinkle with snipped chives.

ROASTED BROCCOLI AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously coat a large rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray.
• If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Cut diagonally into 1 ½-inch thick slices, then place the carrots in the center of the baking sheet. Add the broccoli florets to the baking sheet with the carrots.
• In a small bowl, stir together the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Drizzle the vegetables with the oil, then sprinkle on the spice mix. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly, then spread them into an even layer.
• Place in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, until they are browned and tender, tossing once halfway through. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Enjoy hot.
