Roasted Cauliflower With Eggplant Recipes

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND EGGPLANT SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F/200C.
• Dice the eggplant into roughly 3/4in/2cm dice and cut any larger cauliflower florets to give you roughly the same sized pieces. Toss both in the oil, salt and pepper in a large roasting dish so you have all in one layer, as far as possible.
• Roast the vegetables for approx 20 minutes until tender.
• You can cool the vegetables and store in the refrigerator for a day or two. If using immediately, while they are roasting chop the herbs and blend with the lemon juice, oil and mustard. Pour over the roast vegetables and serve - warm, room temp and cold all work.
