    Roasted broccoli and Cauliflower recipe

    You would often see me steaming or stir-frying my vegetables as I seldom roast them. To be honest with you roasting vegetables in the oven is not the quickest way to make them especially when you have other meals to prep. This stove-top broccoli and Instant pot broccoli recipe are my go-to way for cooking broccoli as it is very easy.

    Some days, I make an exception and roast my vegetables regardless of how busy my kitchen is. I love roasted Cruciferous vegetables especially broccoli and cauliflower with salmon and when I am serving Sunday roast, I can always put them in the oven at the same time with the chicken, lamb, turkey or pork.

    I love incorporating these vegetables into our meals because it is healthy, highly nutritious, low carb and delicious.

    Why you need to roast your vegetables if time permits

    In case you are wondering why you have to roast your vegetables despite me saying it takes time more than the other methods. Well, you get more flavour from roasted or grilled vegetables thanks to the simple delicious marinade, than you would with steamed ones. They are also one of the best vegetables to roast.

    In fact, roasted vegetables are hands-free recipe, the prep would only take you about 5 to 10 minutes then the oven does the rest for you. This recipe does not require that you flip the vegetables halfway through the cooking process. Therefore, if you won’t be doing it for the time, please do it for the flavour, crunchiness, caramelisation and crispness.

    This roasted cauliflower and broccoli recipe is about to change your life. It is so good and don’t get me started on the parmesan cheese and lemon juice. It is a must in this recipe. You can also roast other vegetables using this recipe.
