❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli

1. Can I use frozen cauliflower and broccoli for this recipe?

Yes you can use frozen vegetables but you need to thaw them first and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Otherwise they will steam instead of roast and you won’t get that crispy texture.

2. How do I prevent the vegetables from getting soggy?

Make sure your baking sheet is not overcrowded. Spread the florets in a single layer with a little space between each piece. Also use a high oven temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit to help them brown and crisp up.

3. Can I add other seasonings to this recipe?

Absolutely. You can add dried herbs like oregano thyme or rosemary. Red pepper flakes add a nice kick and a squeeze of lemon juice at the end brightens the flavor. Feel free to experiment based on what you like.

4. How long do leftovers last and how do I reheat them?

Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat spread them on a baking sheet and warm them in a 400 degree oven for about 5 to 7 minutes. This helps restore some of the crispiness.

5. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

You can prep the florets and store them in the fridge a day ahead. When you are ready to cook just toss them with oil and seasonings and roast as directed. It is best to roast them fresh for the best texture.
