I am always looking for new recipes to cook veggies such as the three in this post. It all began when a sister sent me a link for roasted cauliflower; then I found a broccoli recipe on the same site. Ina Garten always has good recipes so I used her roasted potato recipe.
All three roasted at the same temperature and cooked almost the same time (the potatoes needed another 10 minutes). One common denominator was lots of freshly minced garlic and I showed no restraints in adding lots of this…
The broccoli and cauliflower are breaded with Parmesan and bread crumbs. The main difference is the cauliflower uses butter, the broccoli EVOO. I frequently roast small red potatoes – I just use different seasonings.
I served these with my favorite grilled steak recipe…
I roast cauliflower and potatoes often and have included some links; this is my first roasted broccoli recipe. I like broccoli but love cauliflower and potatoes.
Roasted Cauliflower in Gochujang or Sriracha
Roasted Cauliflower with Apple and Dill
Balsamic and Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
Coffee and Chili Roasted Veggies
Roasted Veggies - Cauliflower, Broccoli and New Potatoes
First, roast the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, then add the tray of cauliflower and broccoli and cook for 30 minutes or so.
Ina’s Garlic Roasted New Potatoes:
I use all kinds of different seasonings for these potatoes depending on what I am serving them with. This recipe goes nicely with the cauliflower and broccoli.
- 3 lbs. red or white small potatoes
- 1/4 cup EVOO
- 1-1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp. garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp. fresh parsley, minced
- Parmesan cheese grated (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the potatoes in half or quarters depending on the size. Add the olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and minced garlic; toss until well coated. Transfer to a parchment lined sheet pan and spread out into one layer.
Roast for about 40-45 minutes or until nicely browned and crisp. Remove from the oven and toss with parsley and a little grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Adjust any seasonings…
Cauliflower:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 garlic cloves (add to taste), minced
- 1 cup Italian or plain breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan (or more) grated
- salt and pepper to taste
- head of cauliflower florets
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Cut the cauliflower into florets.
Melt butter in a small skillet – I like to saute the garlic briefly. Pour the butter over the cauliflower and toss to coat all the florets. Combine the breadcrumbs, salt and pepper to taste, and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the cauliflower and toss to coat.
Roast for about 30 minutes or until the breading turns a nice golden brown.
Broccoli – (I especially liked the crispy broccoli):
- 4 cups of broccoli florets (for this recipe)
- 4 tbsp. EVOO
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 garlic cloves (add to taste), minced
- 1/4 cup Parmesan (add to taste), grated
- 1/4 cup Italian or plain breadcrumbs
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
I like to saute my garlic briefly in the oil, add the salt and pepper to taste and pour over the broccoli florets in a medium bowl. Add the cheese and breadcrumbs and toss to coat.
Spread out on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes.

Heartwarming this time of year. 🍁🍂🌾
For sure Gail – roasted veggies are a good Fall dish 🙂
Roasting is by now my favorite method for vegetables. Love the garlic kick you have here! Must have been a real feast! 🙂
Roasting veggies is a favorite way to fix them too Ronit – especially when I can roast three together, but with their own flavor differences. Garlic is so good with so many veggies 🙂
My kind of dinner although I usually use EVO for all of the vegetables. Delicious.
Mine too Liz – I prefer EVOO or a sauce that the veggies have been marinating in. Just thought I would try butter – my sister loves her butter!
Roasting veggies with butter and garlic… I can feel the aroma in the air 😋😋
Thanks – roasting veggies always makes my kitchen smell good 🙂
yum i love roasted veggies. brussels sprouts are great too, roasted with a bit of bacon and maple syrup:) I remember a friend once decided to roast a whole cauli, and just shoved it in the oven as is. came out as hard as a football… cheers sherry
Me too Sherry – I have not tried brussel sprouts but sounds delicious with bacon and maple syrup. Sweet potatoes are delicious too! I have steamed a whole cauliflower but never roasted one – can’t imagine doing that 🙂
Roasted veggies are delicious! I love roasted carrots as well!😃
Most definitely – love carrots too 🙂
The vegetables look delicious. It’s fun to see how you tweaked the recipes and cooking times for each vegetable.
It was a perfect dinner – roasted the veggies inside and cooked the steaks on the grill.
These veggies look wonderful. I never think to use breadcrumbs or Parmesan. Maybe now that I use your recipe I’ll remember to, cause I know they will be so good!
Thanks Mimi – I loved the crispy broccoli and would prefer to use oil versus butter. All three were tasty!
My husband says that roasted broccoli is better than candy!
Roasting vegetables is simple but adds so much flavor. My husband isn’t crazy about cauliflower or broccoli but he loves them roasted. 😊
Like Ronit, roasting is a favorite way to cook vegetables. I like to munch on cauliflower but prefer it roasted or in a dish. Interesting what husbands like and don’t’ like!
