Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head broccoli (about 3 cups florets)
- 1 small head cauliflower (about 3 cups florets)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1½ pounds/680g)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced (about ½ cup)
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries
- ⅓ cup pepitas or sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut broccoli and cauliflower into 1-inch florets and peel and dice sweet potatoes into ¾-inch cubes.
- Place sweet potato cubes on one baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat and spread in a single layer. Roast for 15 minutes.
- While sweet potatoes begin roasting, place broccoli and cauliflower florets in a bowl, drizzle with remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- After sweet potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, spread broccoli and cauliflower on the second baking sheet. Place both sheets in the oven and roast for 15-20 more minutes until sweet potatoes are caramelized and broccoli and cauliflower are tender-crisp.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing by whisking together extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
- Allow roasted vegetables to cool for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine roasted vegetables with red onion, dried cranberries, and seeds. Pour dressing over and gently toss. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
