Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower – Kalyn’s Kitchen

This Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower is flavored with garlic and curry powder and cooked at low heat for a tasty combination. And the long cooking time for this dish really infuses the broccoli and cauliflower with curry flavor!

It’s not hard to notice that I’m a huge fan of roasted vegetables, is it? And this site has plenty of recipes for Roasted Broccoli and Roasted Cauliflower. But I’ve never combined those two vegetables in a roasted vegetable dish.

And usually crunchy vegetables are roasted at high heat for a short time, so this recipe for Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower takes a completely different approach. First bite-sized pieces of broccoli, cauliflower, and red onion slices (optional) are tossed with olive oil, curry powder, minced garlic, and some salt.

Then the vegetables are roasted at low heat for an hour or more, a cooking technique that infuses the vegetables with the curry flavor but still keeps them fairly crisp when they’re done.

This roasted broccoli and cauliflower was loaded with curry flavor and I loved the delightful addition of a squeeze of lime at the table! If you like these two veggies and curry flavors, I’d say this is a must-try side dish!

What bumps up the flavor of this Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower?

Two techniques bump up the flavor for this roasted vegetable dish. First the cut florets of broccoli and cauliflower (and red onion if you use it) are tossed to coat with olive oil, minced garlic, and curry powder. Then the vegetables are s-l-o-w-l-y roasted at low heat so the vegetables get infused with those flavors as they cook. And squeezing fresh lime over the cooked veggies when they’re served adds another delightful flavor boost!

What kind of curry powder did I use?

If you buy packaged curry powder it comes in sweet and hot varieties. I used Sweet Curry Powder for this recipe, but any curry powder blend you enjoy will be good.

Could you roast the broccoli and cauliflower at a higher temperature?

If cooking a vegetable side dish for more than an hour isn’t going to work for you, you can bump up the temperature for this recipe. But if you can make it work, I really recommend the slow-roasting technique given here that infuses so much flavor into the roasted vegetables.

How to Make Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower:

(Scroll down for complete recipe including nutritional information.)

1. Cut up broccoli, cauliflower, and red onion (if using) and toss with olive oil, minced garlic, curry powder, and a little salt.
2. Spread vegetables out on a roasting pan and cook at 325F/170C, stirring about every 20-25 minutes. 
3. My veggies were a bit crowded; next time I would use two roasting pans and I recommend that if you have two.
4. I cooked the veggie in these photos for about 70 minutes; start checking after an hour to see when they are done to your liking.
5. Serve hot, and I do HIGHLY RECOMMEND serving with piece of lime to squeeze on at the table.
