Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Cut the cauliflower into small florets and slice the Brussels sprouts in half or quarters, depending on their size.

Place the cauliflower and Brussels sprouts on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in the Dijon mustard, capers, and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes while stirring to combine. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Once the roasted vegetables are done, transfer them to a large serving bowl.
