These tend not to be favorite vegetables although when they are cooked as below – they become really delightful and our grandsons love them! Give it a try! I have included some lower calorie options for you below – after all it is that time of year when we long for summer and think swimsuits…. BTW for a change you could also add a little curry and turmeric to the cheese – for a more exotic taste.
Roasted cauliflower or broccoli
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 3 tbsp olive oil ( use spray and only 1 tbsp)
- 1 large head cauliflower, separated into florets ( or broccoli !
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (use less maybe half of this for less calories )
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a large casserole dish.
- Place the olive oil and garlic in a large resealable bag. Add cauliflower, and shake to mix. Pour into the prepared casserole dish, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Top with Parmesan cheese and parsley, and broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown.
We grow our own vegetables – here they are below. Yellow cauliflower and broccoli and broccolini.
And even as a 3 year old – our one grandson LOVED his broccoli and green beans!
