Best Broccoli And Cauliflower With Lemon Mustard And Chive Butter Recipes

LEMON MUSTARD ROASTED BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Rinse the broccoli and cauliflower under cool water and dry thoroughly with paper towels.
• Cut the vegetables into large florets and place in a large bowl. Smaller florets tend to get tough and chewy when roasting.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Pour the mixture over the veggies and toss gently with a rubber spatula (or your hands) until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
• Pour the vegetables onto a parchment paper or aluminum foil lined rimmed baking sheet (or on a rimmed baking stone). Spread into an even layer, making sure the veggies are not crowded, otherwise they will steam instead of roast.
• Sprinkle evenly with the salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized or golden brown on the edges.
• Remove the pan from the oven and give the veggies a squeeze of lemon juice, if you like.
