Roasted Cauliflower and Eggplant, a simple vegetable combination that’s delicious either as a side dish or as a topping for salads and bowls. Only 5 ingredients and 30 minutes!
Prep oven and vegetables: Preheat oven to 400 degrees (200 C). Wash eggplant, then cut off the stem and bottom. Cut into 1 inch slices, then dice into 1/2 inch cubes. Wash cauliflower and slice in half. Cut the florets away from the thick white center.
Roast vegetables: Arrange the prepared eggplant and cauliflower florets on a roasting pan. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, then toss until evenly coated. Top with sliced garlic, salt, and pepper. Roast in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until browned. Stir halfway through cooking time.
Serve: Remove pan from oven, arrange vegetables on a plate and serve immediately as a side dish; or let cool and use as a topping for salads or bowls.
