Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 medium head Broccoli
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower and broccoli into bite-sized florets, discarding the tough stems.
Toss the florets in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Spread the vegetables out evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the mustard-chive lemon dressing. Finely mince the garlic and chives.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and minced chives. Adjust seasoning to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the cauliflower and broccoli are done roasting, transfer them to a serving bowl.
Drizzle the dressing over the roasted vegetables and gently toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy it on its own as a light and healthy meal.
