How to Cut Broccoli and Cauliflower

Cutting the broccoli and cauliflower into uniform pieces will help them roast evenly. Here's how to do it:

Using a chef's knife, cut off the stalk of the broccoli and cauliflower and trim any leaves.

The Best Technique for Roasting Broccoli and Cauliflower

The best technique for roasting vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower is to roast them at higher temperatures. When you roast vegetables at higher temperatures, the natural sugars caramelize until they're browned and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Plus, roasting is an easy process that requires minimal effort. If you want to take an additional step for extra-crispy roasted vegetables, add some cornstarch.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
