This Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower recipe is so flavorful and the perfect addition to any meal!
My favorite way to roast vegetables!
Roasting vegetables is one of the best ways to bring out all of the best flavor and texture.
And my favorite method for just about any veggie? Garlic + parmesan + olive oil. It’s a classic combination of flavors that always tastes good!
This simple broccoli and cauliflower is coated in parmesan cheese and fresh minced garlic then roasted until crisp tender.
The Parmesan cheese creates delicious little crispy edges to the veggies that makes them irresistible!
Sometimes the most flavorful roasted veggies are so easy to make, and this recipe is a great example.
Ingredients needed
The full recipe with instructions can be found at the bottom of this post, but here is what you will need to make these veggies.
- Broccoli and Cauliflower: cut into similar sized florets
- Garlic: use fresh minced garlic for the best flavor. Garlic powder will not be as flavorful in this recipe.
- Parmesan cheese: the powdered variety
- Olive oil: to coat the veggies before roasting
How to make roasted broccoli and cauliflower
Step 1: Cut the fresh cauliflower and broccoli into similar sized florets. You will need around 4 cups each of broccoli and cauliflower florets.

Step 3: Transfer the veggies to a quality nonstick baking sheet and roast at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

This roasted broccoli and cauliflower is just 5 ingredients and my family always asks for more when I make it!
If you haven’t tried roasting veggies for picky eaters, I definitely recommend it.
This is one of our favorite ways to eat cruciferous vegetables!
Storing and Reheating
Store leftovers (if there are any!) in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
For the best texture, reheat the broccoli and cauliflower in the oven on a sheet pan until hot.
Roasting veggies adds a flavor depth that you can’t get from steaming. Those crispy parmesan cheese edges are highly irresistible.
