Questions about Cauliflower broccoli
How do you steam cauliflower and broccoli without overcooking the broccoli?
Steam the cauliflower florets for about 6–8 minutes, then add the broccoli for the last 4–5 minutes. They’re ready when a knife slips into the stalks but the florets still hold their shape.
Can you roast cauliflower and broccoli together?
Yes. Toss the florets with a little oil and roast in a single layer at 200°C fan (220°C conventional) for 20–25 minutes; add the broccoli after the first 10 minutes so it doesn’t burn before the cauliflower is tender.

Keep them dry in the fridge in a perforated or loosely closed bag, and use within a few days. Wash just before cooking, rather than before storing.
