Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups Normandy blend vegetables (carrots, cauliflower, green beans, broccoli), washed and chopped into bite-sized pieces

Seasoning and Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Cheese Topping

  • 1 cup shredded cheese blend (Swiss, Gruyère, and mild cheddar)

Optional

  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Chop the Vegetables: Begin by washing and trimming your Normandy blend vegetables. Cut any large pieces, like cauliflower florets or carrots, into bite-sized chunks to ensure even roasting.
  2. Season and Oil the Vegetables: Toss the chopped vegetables in olive oil, granulated garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper until every piece is lightly coated to ensure maximum flavor absorption during roasting.
  3. Roast the Vegetables: Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to get even caramelization.
  4. Add the Cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle a generous layer of your shredded cheese blend over the hot vegetables. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese melts beautifully and forms a golden crust.
  5. Finish and Serve: Optionally zest some fresh lemon over the top for a lively twist, then transfer to a serving dish and enjoy right away while warm and gooey.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables for better texture and vibrant flavors.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; spread vegetables in a single layer for even roasting and crisp edges.
  • Choose cheeses like Gruyère, Swiss, or mild cheddar for optimal melting and flavor combination.
  • Stir vegetables halfway through roasting to promote caramelization and avoid burning.
  • Watch cheese closely during the final melt to prevent over-browning.
