By
Kitty Ireland (CC-BY)
  • 1 head Cauliflower, roughly chopped
  • 1 bunch of Broccoli, roughly chopped
  • A few splashes of Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbs Butter, Ghee or Olive Oil
  • 3 cups low salt vegetable broth

Roasted Vegetables: Pre heat oven to 400°F. Place broccoli and cauliflower on a single layer on lined baking sheet. Spray lightly or toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, pepper and salt. Bake for 20 minutes, toss with tongs so mixture cooks evenly. Bake another 15-20 minutes for a total time of 35 to 40 minutes. Remove veggies from oven and set aside.

Caramelized Onions: Heat butter, ghee or olive oil on medium high heat. Add onions. Sauté until onions are browned and fragrant about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir and watch carefully so they do not burn. Add garlic, some smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Turn the heat down a bit, let the onions stick to the pan a smidge and then stir to scrape up any browned bits. These browned bits will add tons of flavor to your onions helping them to caramelize. Continue to do this for about a 1/2 hour. Remove from heat and set aside.
