Who else loves broccoli as much as I do?  (Me, Me, Me!! <— If this is you, come along for the roasted broccoli and cauliflower ride!)

Ever since I was a child, one of my favorite side dishes that my mom made regularly was steamed broccoli.

Before you roll your eyes and think, “Oh she was THAT kid… eating steamed broccoli with a smile on her face.”

Let me not lead you astray.  While yes, I did LOVE broccoli… I LOVED broccoli when it was doused in a TON of melted Cheese Whiz. :-O

At least I was eating my vegetables!

Fancy’ing Up Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower

Two decades later, and I still like to fancy up my roasted broccoli and cauliflower with a bit of cheese.

However, this time, it’s a bit more grown up and not nearly as processed.

Also, I still love to scarf down a bowl of steamed broccoli, but roasted broccoli and cauliflower is TOTALLY where it’s at!

When you oven roast broccoli and cauliflower they take on a special crispness and a more intense flavor.

If you haven’t tried roasted broccoli and cauliflower, you need to ASAP!  It just might change your cruciferous life!

A Magical Parmesan Garlic Mixture

After you have oven roasted the broccoli and cauliflower, it’s time to concoct the magic mixture.

And what exactly is this magic mixture composed of?

• Garlic
• Butter
• Parmesan
• Parsley

Yes!  It is that simple.  You’ll saute the butter and garlic for a minute or two, toss it with the roasted broccoli and cauliflower, and then add in your grated Parmesan and parsley.

Voila!  You have one of the tastiest, and maybe even fanciest, keto recipes for oven roasted broccoli and cauliflower!

How to Oven-Roast Broccoli and Cauliflower

When roasting your cauliflower and broccoli in the oven, you have the choice of using aluminum foil or parchment paper.

My personal choice is parchment paper since we are roasting these vegetables at a pretty high heat.

However, feel free to use aluminum foil if that happens to be what you have on hand!

Health Benefits of Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower:

As you all know, broccoli and cauliflower are both considered cruciferous vegetables.  Both of these nutrition powerhouses contain:

• Dietary fiber and folic acid.
• Vitamin C, A, B6 and K
• Sulforaphane – thought to be the major component of broccoli’s magical healing powers!
• And many other health benefits!
