Equipment
- 1 OTG oven works well
- 1 medium mixing bowl
- 1 Baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 cup broccoli florets small sized one broccoli
- 1 cup cauliflower florets half a big cauliflower
- 2 tablespoon cream cheese I have used Amul. any good brand can be used.
- 2 tablespoon grated Mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- salt as per taste
- 1 twig cilantro leaves optional
Instructions
- Wash, dry, and cut cauliflower and broccoli into bite-sized florets. This step can be done ahead of time- a day or night before.
- In a sheet pan, apply olive oil and spread the florets of broccoli and cauliflower. Sprinkle a little salt and black pepper and brush with olive oil.Bake for about 10 min or till lightly browned in a preheated OTG at 150℃
- While the veggies are baked, you may prep the cream cheese sauce. In a small bowl, freshly grate the Mozzarella cheese and add cream cheese to it. Spice with salt and black pepper and mix it well.
- Once the veggies are baked, transfer them to the cream cheese mixture and mix well. Transfer mixture to a greased baking casserole dish. You may top it with shredded cheese and bake in a preheated OTG (you may use the oven as well) at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 10 minutes or until the cheese starts melting and gets browned.
- Top your Easy Keto Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole with cilantro and serve hot!
Notes
- I suggest NOT blanching as that makes broccoli and cauliflower a bit soggy. Wash and dry them before use for best results to avoid any excess water they may have absorbed. I have roasted them in OTG for about 10 min before mixing them with cheese. This makes them crisp and double roasting in OTG makes them more crispy.
- The roasting of chopped cauliflower and broccoli can be done in an Instant pot, oven or air fryer as well.
