If you have been reading my blog for very long, there is at least one thing that you have probably caught on to…I love roasted vegetables! There is just nothing better than a vegetable that has been roasted. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against steamed or sautéed vegetables. They are quite tasty, too. But there is just something about a roasted vegetable.
One of the only ways that I like broccoli and cauliflower are to roast them. I have roasted them frequently in the past, but recently I wanted to mix things up and add a new flavor to two of my favorite roasted vegetables. And so became…
Roasted Dijon Broccoli and Cauliflower
Servings: 2-3
Ingredients
EVOO cooking spray
1/2 head of cauliflower, chopped
1 crown of broccoli, chopped
2 TB Dijon mustard
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
black pepper
fine sea salt
garlic powder
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Spray a large baking sheet with EVOO cooking spray.
3. Stir together Dijon mustard, olive oil, and soy sauce until well-combined.
4. Toss broccoli and cauliflower with mustard marinade.
5. Pour broccoli and cauliflower onto the baking sheet and sprinkle with black pepper, salt, and garlic powder.
6. Roast for 10 minutes.
7. Remove the broccoli and cauliflower from the oven and shake the baking sheet to prevent the veggies from sticking.
8. Place back into the oven and roast for an additional 5-15 minutes, depending on how “roasted” you like your vegetables to be.
I love roasted broccoli and cauliflower seasoned with pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder, but the addition of the Dijon mustard flavor is absolutely great!
If you think that you do not like broccoli or cauliflower, think again. I never realized that I liked certain vegetables (e.g., parsnips, brussel sprouts) until I tried them roasted. The addition of the Dijon flavor complements the roasted broccoli and cauliflower, and this marinade could certainly be utilized in roasting other vegetables too.
Now…go roast some veggies! 😉
And I just have to share…
How seriously cute are these wall decorations? My mom bought these the last time she was visiting me in order to help me decorate my kitchen. I love them! They make me smile every time that I look at them :).

I also love roasted veggies. So I feel ya. Great recipe. 🙂
Veggies are about 10x better when they are roasted!
LOVE the decorations! I’m always down for a new broccoli recipe..thanks 🙂
Aren’t they too cute?? 😉
I love the decorations! I need to take a page out of your book and start eating more vegetables!!
I am really lucky that I genuinely love vegetables, but it also really depends on how they are cooked. Roasting vegetables is super easy and definitely makes me eat a lot more than I normally ever used to.
I’m with you on roasted veggies, love them! This recipe sounds delicious and the silverware is too cute!
I’ve to say that I am a little bit in love with the silverware…weird, I know ;).
Yes! Nothing beats roasted veggies:) Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome :). I hope that you give the recipe a try!
You are not alone in your love of roasted veggies! That’s my favorite way to eat them (in most cases). 🙂 I’ve never tried them with a “dijon” twist, so I’m excited to give this a try.
Veggies can’t get much better than when they are roasted!
I love roasted veggies too! The more I read your recipes, the more I want to become a vegetarian! I could easily give up the meats but I really love fish. Do you eat fish?
You could become a vegetarian who eats fish! 😉 I am not sure of the technical term, but I know people adapt that eating lifestyle. I do not eat fish, but before I was a vegetarian I was not much of a fish-eater anyways so that is probably why.
oh man dijon mustard? that sounds like a great combo
I LOVE dijon mustard so I knew I had to make this. It certainly gives the veggies great flavor.
Yum! Looks delicious! 🙂

Adding Dijon mustard is a great way to add flavor to roasted veggies. And I like the touch of soy sauce, too.
The combination of the Dijon mustard and the soy sauce was really great. It seems strange at first, but it really works.
Roasted vegetables make any meal THAT much better! I LOVE those wall decorations, I always gush over the silverware decorations whenever I see them!
Aren’t they so cute?? I had been eyeing them for weeks before my mom bought them for me.
Oh I love mustards on sandwiches… I will have to try using it with vegetables as well!
I think that mustard is good on everything….well…a lot of things, at least ;).
Veggie Love <3 and soy sauce? Can't wait to try!
I hope you love them as much as I do!
I need to make that broccoli and cauliflower recipe! I’ve been wanting to roast some vegetables!
