Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound broccoli
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup nonfat milk, divided
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon salt
Pinch of ground white pepper
Pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • Trim 1/2 inch off broccoli stalks; remove the tough outer layer with a vegetable peeler. Cut the broccoli lengthwise so the florets attached to the long stalks are 1 to 2 inches wide. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a Dutch oven fitted with a steamer basket. Steam the broccoli until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk flour and 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl until smooth. Heat the remaining 3/4 cup milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming. Whisk in the flour mixture; cook, whisking, until thickened, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat; add cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg (if using). Drizzle over the broccoli. Serve warm.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 medium carrots (peeled (about 10 ounces))
1 large head broccoli (cut into florets (about 3 cups florets))
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously coat a large rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray.
  • If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Cut diagonally into 1 ½-inch thick slices, then place the carrots in the center of the baking sheet. Add the broccoli florets to the baking sheet with the carrots.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Drizzle the vegetables with the oil, then sprinkle on the spice mix. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly, then spread them into an even layer.
  • Place in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, until they are browned and tender, tossing once halfway through. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Enjoy hot.
