Roasted Garlic-Parmesan Cauliflower and Broccoli

Jump to Recipe

Broccoli is something that I am really picky about. I never liked it until just about two years ago, believe it or not. Cauliflower on the other hand, forget it. I wouldn’t go near it, cooked or raw. I always tried to eat broccoli because I knew how good it was for me, but every time I ate it, there was always a lot of water involved trying to swallow it whole. Sounds like tricks we did as kids, avoiding chewing so we don’t have to taste it, so instead we swallowed the whole thing! No? Maybe that was just me then…

Saying that, this recipe made me a lover of both cauliflower and broccoli. Everything is always better with a little garlic and parmesan cheese! Or maybe a lot of parmesan cheese…

I like to mix both of the vegetables together for a little variety, but you can always do just one or the other if you want.  This is a very complimentary side dish to just about any meal. It comes together in a flash and bakes reasonably fast.
