- Hey everybody, it's Bobby here,
0:01
and I've got a great recipe for you today
0:03
that I think you'll really enjoy.
0:05
If you're like me, you really like roasted vegetables
0:09
I love all the root vegetables, the carrots and the parsnips
0:13
and the potatoes are all really great,
0:16
but sometimes cauliflower is a nice addition.
0:20
Recently, I make lots of broccoli for my kids
0:24
and I recently got the, dad, I don't want any more broccoli.
0:28
So I was like, okay, you know what?
0:29
I'll try something you've never had before.
0:31
Let's do cauliflower. (laughs)
0:33
And it was pretty much a big hit
0:34
because it wasn't green,
0:36
so it went over really nicely with my kids.
0:38
You can fool 'em maybe once and then it's beyond.
0:41
So we're gonna make a really simple little oil combination
0:45
with, excuse me, with mustard
0:49
and a little lime juice, a little salt and some thyme.
0:52
- It's actually lemon juice. - I'm sorry, lemon juice.
0:54
And I'm gonna rough cut my thyme
0:58
before we add it to the bowl.
1:07
We get it nice and small.
1:12
And today, instead of using the oven,
1:14
we're gonna use the air fryer, which is, you know,
1:16
most of us have one now.
1:19
Gosh, man, I use my air fryer almost daily,
1:23
or maybe every day, I use it.
1:27
So convenient, so easy,
1:28
it doesn't heat up the whole house.
1:30
When you live in a place like Savannah
1:32
and it's really warm during the summertime, man,
1:34
turn on that oven and opening that thing up can be...
1:37
So, but whatever, the ease and convenience of an air fryer.
1:39
And they've come a long way with 'em.
1:41
They're even nicer now than they were to begin with.
1:44
So I'm gonna go ahead and put my thyme in the bowl.
1:48
I'll add to that my oil,
2:20
hard to get every last little bit of it out.
2:30
And I am just gonna toss my veggies in here.
2:32
This is gonna be cauliflower, leeks and red peppers.
2:37
Get some really pretty colors going.
2:40
I think that people often serve vegetables, you know,
2:43
just to say they did it as a side,
2:46
but vegetables can really just be, you know, wonderful.
2:50
They can can be a, you know,
2:53
I'll sometimes serve vegetables as the main,
2:56
doesn't always have to just be, you know, the co-star.
3:05
So we will just toss our cauliflower
3:08
and we'll probably do this in batches.
3:10
Our air fryer is, gosh, I don't even know
3:12
how many quarts this is, but it's a good-size air fryer.
3:15
But we'll probably do two batches.
3:18
So start with some cauliflower.
3:27
I used to, it's been a little while,
3:29
but I used to eat raw cauliflower
3:30
and it's pretty kind of like, it just in a little dip.
3:33
Make a homemade dip, real good.
3:41
Portion of our peppers.
3:51
Theresa and I were talking earlier, you know,
3:53
sometimes a recipe will tell you
3:55
to put your vegetables on a baking dish
3:59
and then pour olive oil
4:01
or whatever kind of oil you have over the vegetables.
4:05
But I always like to toss mine to coat.
4:09
everything gets a little bit more on it it seems.
4:11
When I just pour the oil right over a vegetable
4:13
that's on the baking sheet,
4:17
I end up with a bunch of just oil on the baking sheet.
4:23
That looks really nice.
4:28
I'm just use my grabbers here.
4:38
Best tools God gave you, that's what my mom always told me.
4:45
Yeah, and just make sure everything's kind of spread around
4:48
and not piled on top of one another.
4:57
And before I wash my hands,
4:58
I'll go ahead and ready our next batch.
5:13
Since my hands are wet now,
5:15
this hand is, anyway,
5:16
I'll go ahead and toss it with my hands.
5:20
And that way both batches will be ready.
5:23
Really nice. That's a nice combination of veg.
5:31
So into the air fryer, set on 400,
5:37
we'll give it a few minutes,
5:39
and we'll come back and we'll toss it around as we check.
5:44
Make sure they're just exactly perfect.
5:45
So I'll wash my hands and I'll be right back.
5:48
The next time you wanna do roast vegetables at your house,
5:50
I suggest that you try the air fryer.
5:52
For you busy families and people who just,
5:54
you know, are in kind of a time crunch.
5:56
This looks really, really great.
5:59
I've got red peppers, leeks, cauliflower,
6:03
and the air fryer did a really nice job
6:05
of browning but not burning.
6:09
And it looks really, really good to me.
6:14
that we put together smells really, really good in here too.
6:17
I'm gonna get a leek and a piece of cauliflower.
6:21
Hope I don't burn my face off.
6:32
The lime juice is right there right away.
6:39
Listen to that, man, is that good,
6:41
and it's cauliflower and leeks and red peppers.
6:44
Citrus goes so far in so many recipes.
6:47
And the citrus and the thyme together here,
6:49
and I guess the Dijon is there,
6:50
it's all really good.
6:52
It's a real savory-tasting oil that's on there.
7:00
Gosh, that is so good.
7:01
I think that you ought to try this.
7:02
Roast vegetables at your house might be a good way
7:05
to get the kids to eat them.
7:06
And if they don't, I think that you'll finish 'em anyway.
7:09
And I love leeks too.
7:10
They've just got a great flavor to 'em.
7:12
They've got a little kind of a bite to 'em. Love that.
7:16
So you're welcome for this roast cauliflower, beets
7:23
Bust out the air fryer.
7:25
Mm, mm mm mm, that is so good.
