Categories     Main Dishes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 cups broccoli florets (see note)
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
8 cups cauliflower florets (see note)
12 ounces whole wheat penne pasta
1 cup reserved pasta cooking water
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (see note)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475ºF, and bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove.
  • On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, making sure the oil and seasonings are evenly distributed. (If you prefer, you can toss the ingredients together in a bowl and then dump the broccoli mixture out onto the baking sheet.) On a second parchment-lined baking sheet, repeat the process with the cauliflower florets, tossing them with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Make sure the vegetables are spread out evenly on the baking sheets, and not heaped on top of each other, so they roast properly rather than steaming.
  • Place cauliflower in the oven and roast for 5 minutes; then add broccoli to the oven. Roast for 5 minutes more, and then stir both cauliflower and broccoli and rotate sheet pans to promote even roasting. Continue roasting for about 10 more minutes (20 minutes total for cauliflower and 15 minutes total for broccoli), until the vegetables have developed some gorgeous roasted brown spots. Remove from oven and set briefly aside, keeping warm.
  • Meanwhile, as vegetables roast, cook pasta according to package directions. Before draining the pasta, carefully reserve about 1 cup of pasta cooking water.
  • In a large serving bowl, toss the roasted vegetables with the cooked pasta. Sprinkle the parmesan, lemon juice, garlic, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt evenly over the pasta mixture, stirring as you do so to make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the pasta and not concentrated in one spot. Loosen as desired with reserved pasta cooking water (we usually use about 1/2 - 3/4 cup). Taste and adjust the pasta water, lemon juice, and salt as needed. Serve immediately.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER, BROCCOLI, AND GARLIC



Roasted Cauliflower, Broccoli, and Garlic image

A whole head of garlic is roasted along with broccoli florets and cauliflower, basically making your appetizer and side dish in the same pan. Now, do not be alarmed when you get to the part where the foil comes off and you look at the very dark colored broccoli...after the final 30 minutes of roasting, the veggies are so tender and delicious. I normally only like my broccoli to be crisp tender and bright green, but in this recipe I thought the taste made up for its less attractive color. Found on Ellie Krieger's Healthy Appetite show originally.

Provided by HeatherFeather

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets (2 pounds)
1 lb broccoli, cut into florets (fresh)
1 head garlic
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 loaf French bread (baguette style)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place cauliflower and broccoli into a 9 X 13 inch baking dish, toss with the about 2 Tbsp of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
  • Cut a bit of the top and sides off the unpeeled whole garlic head, exposing as many of the cloves as possible.
  • Tuck the garlic head into one corner of the same pan and drizzle the head with the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil (I also pick out any slivers of garlic from the parts I trimmed off and toss them into the pan with the veggies).
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1/2 hour.
  • Remove the cover, stir just the florets and cook for 30 minutes more, until vegetables are tender and nicely browned (yes, the broccoli will be a very dark green).
  • Meanwhile, slice baguette bread into thin bias-cut ovals.
  • Toast in a toaster oven until lightly toasted (to your liking).
  • When the veggies are ready, serve the florets in a serving dish, and place the garlic head onto a plate surrounded by your toasted bread ovals; remove some of the garlic using a butter knife and spread on slices as a paste.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest broccoli and cauliflower possible. Look for florets that are tightly closed and have a deep green or white color. Avoid any florets that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into uniform florets. This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through properly.
  • Blanch the broccoli and cauliflower before roasting. This will help to preserve their color and nutrients. To blanch the vegetables, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain the vegetables and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Toss the broccoli and cauliflower with olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, and salt and pepper. This will help to coat the vegetables and give them flavor.
  • Roast the broccoli and cauliflower at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the vegetables and give them a slightly crispy texture. Roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.
  • Serve the broccoli and cauliflower immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower with Garlic and Lemon is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The broccoli and cauliflower are roasted to perfection and tossed with a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, and salt and pepper. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
