roasted cauliflower and broccoli, unbelievably delicious! Who knew?

Had a glut of both and didn't want to do ususal recipes with them. Googled roasting them, got lots of similar recipes:
Put in roasting tin with sliced garlic, drizzle with olive oil and a little lemon juice. Roast at 200-220 for 15-25 mins until tender and a little coloured. Grate over some parmesan and mature cheddar (not loads, just a sprinkling really) lots of black pepper - absolutely divine!

It really intensifies the flavour, the texture is lovely, it doesn't have that slightly watery feel that even steamed broc/cauli does - you really have to try it. Some of the recipes fried breadcrumbs in butter and topped it with that as well as parmesan and fresh chives, but it was fab just as it was.

Sounds wonderful! I will be adding this to our turkey dinner on Sunday. Thanks!

Haven't tried the complicated stuff, but yes, I discovered roast cauliflower with a dash of lemon juice last year. So delicious. We can eat a whole head of it before the rest of dinner is ready. Yum.

I've recently discovered this and isn't it lovely?! Reminds me a bit of crispy seaweed. Now to convince my mum...

There's a recipe for similar in, I think, Delia's winter collection, which I have and have always meant to make, but haven't.
I'll give it a try soon now.

Agree! I found it in Delia's veg book. Definitely superior to boiling / steaming etc

I like to roast tenderstem broccoli with olive oil and sea salt crystals - the florets go really crispy and it's like eating crisps! But much healthier, obviously

These are very interesting ideas, thanks for posting
