I’m pretty good about cooking with vegetables in every meal, but every now and then I’m looking for a new recipe to spruce up our side dishes. These two dishes have been my favorites this past week. I pretty much ate these two recipes for 3-4 days straight and loved it EVERY time.

Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 1/3 cup Best Foods Mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbs. dijon mustard or spicy mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. salt or more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded colby jack cheese
  • 1 Tbs. fresh parsley chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. 
  • Cut off the bottom stem of the cauliflower and trim off any leaves. Rinse under cold water. On a cutting board, cut the cauliflower into bite sized pieces and place in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl combine together the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper and garlic together. Spread over the cauliflower and toss to coat. 
  • Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray and spread the cauliflower onto the sheet so they are not touching each other. Sprinkle the cauliflower with the shredded cheese and bake. 
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and they are fork tender. Remove from the oven and garnish with parsley and serve. 

Notes

Make sure and use a good quality mayonnaise. Best Foods is our favorite because it's not sweet. A miracle whip, or inexpensive mayo would change the flavor pallet.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. brussel sprouts
  • 2-3 Tbs. olive oil
  • 2-3 Tbs. real maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. salt or more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder optional

Instructions

  • Lightly rinse off the brussel sprouts in the sink under a colander. On a cutting board, cut off the stem pieces of the sprouts, keeping the majority of the sprouts in tact. If some leaves fall off, that's okay. 
  • Heat a large skillet pan to high heat. Drizzle with the olive oil and place the trimmed sprouts into the pan. Don't toss for a few minutes and let the sprouts start to sizzle and get brown. 
  • After a few minutes, toss them around in the pan and drizzle the top with the maple syrup. Let them continue to cook for several minutes as the syrup becomes caramelized and brown. Turn down the heat once they are nice and browned and let them cook until tender. Season and then serve warm. 

Notes

You can switch up the maple syrup with balsamic glaze, agave, honey or whatever sweet flavoring you'd like. It's the sweet mixture that gives the caramelized flavor that's so amazing!
