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.

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.

OVEN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI WITH BACON



Oven Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli With Bacon image

Fresh Cauliflower and Broccoli from our garden - several recipes found, but all too fattening. Putting together a recipe of my own. This recipe can be cooked on the grill.

CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI WITH ROASTED GARLIC



Cauliflower and Broccoli With Roasted Garlic image

This recipe comes from Williams-Sonoma with some modifications. It is for the true garlic lover. The original recipe does not call for the chili oil. That is my personal taste preference. If you don't have the chili oil, it can be done with regular oil. If you use the chili oil you will need only 2 teaspoons of the olive oil for roasting the garlic.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI WITH SALSA VERDE



Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli With Salsa Verde image

This recipe came to The Times in 2004, when Julia Moskin wrote a story about the developing culinary culture in McCarthy and Kennicott, two tiny villages in the hinterlands of Alaska. ("Out here, you have a choice," said Mark Vail, a former Air Force cook who lives in McCarthy year-round. "You can live on ramen noodles and baked beans, or you can learn to cook.") Kirsten Richardson, a resident of Kennicott and a cook at the McCarthy Lodge, a local restaurant, developed this brightly-flavored riff on the weeknight vegetable. Just roast the broccoli and cauliflower, toss with a shallot-anchovy vinaigrette and toasted almonds then sprinkle with chopped parsley. It makes a satisfying mostly-meatless main or a delicious accompaniment to roast chicken.

Categories     weeknight, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup whole shelled almonds
1 large head broccoli, cut into florets (about 1 pound florets)
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 1 pound florets)
10 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for dressing
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 anchovy fillets, minced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup coarsely chopped Italian parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a baking sheet and toast until brown and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Leave oven on. When almonds have cooled, chop coarsely.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss broccoli and cauliflower with 4 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread on two baking sheets and roast until tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, mix shallot and vinegar and set aside for 5 minutes. Whisk in anchovies, lemon juice, remaining 6 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in almonds and parsley.
  • Remove vegetables from oven, add to bowl and toss with sauce. Taste and add more salt, pepper, vinegar or lemon, if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm broccoli and cauliflower: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Cauliflower should be white or cream-colored, with no signs of browning or bruising.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them roast to perfection.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Stir the vegetables halfway through roasting: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Serve the roasted vegetables immediately: They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Roasted broccoli and cauliflower is a healthy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. This dish is also low in calories and fat, making it a great choice for those who are watching their weight. Roasted broccoli and cauliflower can be served with a variety of main courses, such as chicken, fish, or steak. It can also be used as a topping for salads or pizzas.
