This oil-free roasted broccoli and cauliflower is crispy and flavorful. Lightly seasoned with salt and red pepper flakes, this dish will become your new go-to side dish.
Broccoli and cauliflower are two popular vegetables, but many people have horrifying memories of mushy broccoli and bland cauliflower. Not anymore! This broccoli and cauliflower is crispy and delicious. With tons of flavor!
Both broccoli and cauliflower are in the cruciferous family. Cruciferous veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, or cabbage have some amazing gut-healing and inflammation-fighting properties.
These vegetables contain a phytonutrient that leads to the activation of our immune system. Every time you eat broccoli and cauliflower you promote the unlocking of your immune defense.
The antioxidants present in broccoli and cauliflower also provide cancer-fighting properties.
Plus broccoli and cauliflower are filled with fiber, one of the most important nutrients for your health.
There are so many good things in these veggies, I'm dying to eat them just writing about them.
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Step 2. Chop the broccoli crowns and cauliflower head into bite-sized pieces and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Step 3. Rinse the chopped broccoli and cauliflower under cold water. Pat dry, leaving the veggies slightly damp but not wet.
Step 4. Place the broccoli and cauliflower on separate baking sheets. Sprinkle the sliced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper evenly over the broccoli and cauliflower. Toss lightly.
Step 5. Place the trays in the oven. Roast for 25 minutes (add 5 minutes for the cauliflower), stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking. Remove when the veggies are slightly browned. Enjoy!
If you notice your veggies aren’t browning, you probably did not dry them enough before roasting. If this is happening, turn your oven up to 450 or 500.
I suggest pairing this dish with a protein and a starch. You could eat it along side Tofu Apricot Skewers or Crispy Chickpea Stuffed Sweet Potatoes.
Or for a simpler dish, try whipping up some tempeh or tofu and adding a starch like sweet potatoes or quinoa.
Lord thank you for giving us food that heals our bodies, food that fights for us like You fight for us. Keep us safe and healthy as we nourish our bodies with Your creation. Amen.
