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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

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.

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.

Place an inch of water in a pan and bring to boiling.

Tips:

Choose the right vegetables: For the best results, choose cauliflower and broccoli florets that are about the same size so that they cook evenly. You can also use other vegetables such as carrots, Brussels sprouts, or zucchini.
Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the vegetables and give them a delicious roasted flavor. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit before roasting the vegetables.
Use a little bit of olive oil: Olive oil will help to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the baking sheet and will also add flavor. You can also use another type of cooking oil, such as avocado oil or grapeseed oil.
Season the vegetables with salt and pepper: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for roasted vegetables. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Roast the vegetables until they are tender: The roasting time will vary depending on the type of vegetables you are using. Cauliflower and broccoli typically take about 20-25 minutes to roast. You can check to see if the vegetables are done by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.

Conclusion:

Roasted cauliflower, broccoli, and garlic is a simple but delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of main dishes. The roasted vegetables are flavorful and nutritious, and they are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this delicious and healthy dish.
