Quick Roasted Carrots and Cauliflower with Walnuts

Cutting your vegetables into small pieces and roasting at a very high temperature not only ensures your side will be ready quickly, it also caramelizes the vegetables, enhancing their natural sweetness. Roasted cauliflower has a great meaty quality to it so if you are going for a meatless meal, double the recipe and make this the star of your plate.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

    Hey everyone - stop reading and head for the kitchen!

    Although neither a fan of carrots or cauliflower, was looking for something new. Good news, fortune favors the bold because This recipe hits the jackpot.

    Recommend a tad more lemon zest and in-shell walnuts, rather than store bought and chopped; but otherwise this hits it out of the park with a wonderful texture, good taste, and pretty presentation.

    This is a great vegetable recipe. Roasting always adds great flavor. My husband is not a cauliflower fan but he thought this was just great. I'll be making this one again!
