Ingredients:
3 cups cauliflower florets
3 cups broccoli florets
2 large carrots, sliced into rounds
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder & onion powder
1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup heavy cream (or milk)
Salt, pepper, and fresh parsley for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions (120 words):
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly into a 9×13 glass baking dish. Roast for 15 minutes until they begin to soften and caramelize at the edges.
Remove from the oven. Drizzle the heavy cream evenly over the veggies, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
Let rest for 5 minutes to set. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot as a hearty side dish or a satisfying vegetarian main.
