Ingredients

Scale

You’ll need the following ingredients:

    • 2 cups broccoli florets

    • 2 cups cauliflower florets

    • 2 carrots, sliced

    • 1 zucchini, sliced

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • Salt and black pepper to taste

    • 2 tablespoons butter

    • 2 tablespoons plain flour

    • 2 cups milk

    • 1½ cups grated cheddar cheese

    • ½ teaspoon mustard powder (optional)

    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

    • ½ cup breadcrumbs

    • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the Vegetables

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the vegetables on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2 – Roast the Vegetables

Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15–20 minutes until slightly tender. This step enhances their natural flavor.

Step 3 – Make the Cheese Sauce

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 4 – Add the Cheese

Once the sauce thickens, stir in the grated cheddar cheese, mustard powder, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 5 – Combine Vegetables and Sauce

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a baking dish and pour the cheese sauce over them. Mix gently to coat everything evenly.

Step 6 – Add the Topping

Sprinkle breadcrumbs and a little extra cheese over the top for a crispy finish.

Step 7 – Bake Until Golden

Bake for 20–25 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 8 – Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm
