roasted broccoli and cauliflower recipe
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegan
Description
This recipe transforms ordinary broccoli and cauliflower florets into a flavorful side dish using high-heat roasting for tender-crisp results. It is finished with a quick and creamy lemon-herb tahini sauce, making it a healthy option ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 large head broccoli, cut into 1-inch florets
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup tahini paste
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2–4 tablespoons cold water
- 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Season Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli and cauliflower florets. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Roast Florets: Spread the seasoned vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender-crisp with caramelized edges.
- Prepare Tahini Drizzle: While the vegetables roast, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of parsley in a small bowl. Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is smooth and reaches a pourable consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the hot roasted vegetables to a platter. Drizzle generously with the prepared tahini sauce. Garnish with the remaining fresh parsley and grated lemon zest before serving immediately.
Notes
For best results, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet; use a second sheet if necessary to ensure the vegetables roast rather than steam. Cutting the florets into uniform 1-inch pieces ensures even cooking. Use fresh lemon juice for optimal flavor in the tahini sauce.
