One night, we had dinner at my Uncle Carmen’s house and he made THE BEST roasted vegetables. I couldn’t get enough. I had seconds…and then I had thirds! They were THAT good! Uncle Carmen and I are both lovers of all things food. We talk about recipes and cooking and techniques. He’s a great cook and we are always swapping recipes. So, I managed to get his recipe for these heavenly roasted vegetables provencal style and now I’m going to share it with you!
Vegetables
Uncle Carmen’s Sicilan Cauliflower
I have to admit it…I’m not a huge cauliflower fan. Neither is my husband. I don’t know if it’s the color, the texture, or the fact that for one of my 5th grade science projects, I used a head of cauliflower to represent a brain. Whatever it is, I’m just not a fan.
However, if you put my Uncle Carmen’s Sicilian Cauliflower on the table, you can consider it devoured! In fact, whenever Uncle Carmen makes this dish for a family dinner, he usually has to double the recipe! It’s gobbled up that quickly!
Parmesan Roasted Green Beans
This year, my garden produced a TON of green beans! There is nothing like fresh beans picked from the vine. They’re perfect! With so many on hand, I began searching for new green bean recipes. That’s when I stumbled upon this great recipe for Parmesan Roasted Green Beans on a great blog I found — Cooking Tip of the Day.
