Ingredients
1/2 a head of cauliflower (or a mix of purple, yellow, green, or white), pulled apart into small pieces or blooms. (Can be substituted with Romanesco)
2 C. Rainbow Carrots-Trimmed, peeled and sliced lengthwise
2 C. Tri-color or golden new potatoes- either hasselback or quartered or halved
Sea Salt to taste or try one from 3 pack salt collection like Sicilian Sea Salt, Cyprus Flake Salt, or Himalayan Pink Salt.
1/4 Tsp. Cracked pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Coat the bottom of a large cast iron pan with 2-3 Tbsp. of olive oil.
Sprinkle kosher salt over the oil to line the bottom of the pan.
Wash the potatoes and carefully place chopsticks on either side of potatoes and cut down into the potatoes about 1/8" apart to create slits in the potatoes (hasselback) or if in hurry, cut them lengthwise & if they are larger potatoes, then quarter them.
Place them cut side down along the bottom of the pan.
Wash, trim tops off, and peel the carrots, then slice them lengthwise either halved or quartered if they are really large carrots.
Then, layer them over the potatoes and add your small pieces of cauliflower blooms or Romanesco to the pan.
Drizzle with a bit more olive oil, sea salt, and pepper.
Cut your butter into smaller pieces and place them evenly around the top of your vegetables.
Cover loosely with tin foil and place cast iron pan in the oven on the middle rack for about 40-45 minutes.
Check them about half way (25 minutes) and remove the foil and toss the veggies so that all of them get nice and charred.
Remove vegetable from the oven when they look a bit charred and potatoes & carrots are soft when checked with a fork. Continue to cook a bit longer if they are not quite soft.
Sprinkle with a bit more sea salt & pepper and enjoy!
