Ingredients and Variations

Broccoli & Cauliflower – Choose heavy heads of cauliflower and intact heads of broccoli, both without any bruises or blemishes. Wash and cut the pieces uniformly so they roast at the same rate.

Cheese Sauce – This recipe is all about the sauce! Use Monterey Jack, cheddar, Mexican blend, or any combination! If desired, a can of chicken, celery, or mushroom soup can be used in a pinch for the broth and cream. Use Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of cream cheese for a thinner sauce, it will still taste great!

Variations – Why stop at broccoli and cauliflower? Toss in other low-carb veggies like sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, pearl onions, or a bag of peas, green beans, and carrots!

How to Make Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole

  1. Prepare, season, and roast broccoli and cauliflower (as per recipe below).
  2. In a skillet, prepare the cheesy sauce.
  3. Pour the cheese over the roasted veggies and place into a casserole dish.
  4. Top with more cheese and bake until browned and bubbly on top.

Tips for Success!

  • Frozen broccoli and cauliflower can be used in this recipe to save time on prep. Mix them both in a colander in the sink and allow them to thaw before using in Step 3.
  • If using fresh veggies, be sure they are cut in uniform, bit-sized pieces so there are both kinds in every bite!
  • Serve as is or over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles, if desired.

Storing Broccoli and Cauliflower Casserole

Keep leftover roasted broccoli and cauliflower casserole covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat portions in the microwave or on the stovetop with a little broth or milk added to loosen the cheese sauce. Freeze portions in zippered bags for up to 2 months, but be aware the veggies won’t be as firm once they’re thawed.
