Secrets on how to cook cauliflower and Brussel sprouts in the broiler
Both vegetables often are overlooked because the aroma of the cauliflower and the Brussels sprouts when steamed or boiled in water can be pungent and sometimes not pleasant. However, when these winter vegetables are roasted the flavor profile is delicious.
For seasoning the roasted vegetables we have used Latino seasoning mix with salt, cumin, oregano, and ground black pepper. For the broiling process, we need a large tray or sheet pan, and a sheet of parchment paper. The paper facilitates cleaning as well as prevents the roasted vegetables from sticking.
We begin by washing the Brussels sprouts and removing the leaves that do not work and cutting a part of the stem. For the cauliflower, we have cut small florets for a better presentation. Adding the cranberries seems a bit strange. However, these add acidity and balance the side dish very well as they are not sweet.
Place the waxed paper in the sheet pan and add the cauliflower and sprouts. Dress with corn oil and sprinkle with the Latino seasoning mix. Cooked the veggies on the broiler setting at medium heat and when browned remove and then add the cranberries. Set the broiler or grill on high and roast for another five minutes.
