Ingredients

Vegetables

  • Mixed Normandy vegetables (cauliflower, carrots, green beans, peas) – about 4 cups total, washed and chopped into bite-sized pieces

Cheese Blend

  • Sharp cheddar cheese – 1 cup, freshly grated
  • Parmesan cheese – 1/2 cup, freshly grated

Seasonings & Other Ingredients

  • Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
  • Fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary) – 1 tablespoon, chopped
  • Salt – 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
  • Black pepper – 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing and chopping the Normandy blend vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Make sure the pieces are roughly the same size to ensure even roasting.
  2. Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, gently toss the vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and your choice of fresh herbs. This step coats the vegetables and infuses them with flavor.
  3. Roast the Vegetables: Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, until they start to become tender and lightly golden.
  4. Add the Cheese Blend: Remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle the sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheeses generously over the vegetables. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  5. Serve Warm: Once out of the oven, let the vegetables cool slightly before serving to enjoy the cheese at its creamiest and the vegetables at their perfect roasted texture.

Notes

  • Even Chopping: Cut vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure consistent roasting and texture.
  • Use Fresh Cheese: Freshly grated cheeses melt better and deliver the richest flavor.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Give the vegetables space on the baking sheet to roast properly and caramelize instead of steam.
  • Experiment with Roasting Time: Adjust roasting times based on your oven and preferred crispiness.
  • Let It Rest: Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving to let flavors meld and cheese set.
