Charred Caesar (v) Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Preheat your grill or oven to high heat. Trim the Brussels sprouts and cut the cauliflower into florets. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

2. 2

   Char the Vegetables

   Place the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower on the grill or in a roasting pan. Grill or roast for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are charred and tender.

3. 3

   Make the Dressing

   In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Toast the Pepitas

   In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pepitas until they are golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dish

   In a large serving bowl, combine the charred Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat. Top with toasted pepitas and crumbled Cotija cheese.
