This Cheesy Broccoli-Cauliflower Bake is a delicious casserole dish that is loaded with veggies, cheese, and panko. It is creamy, golden, and super-yummy!
I bet many my readers are starting to think about the big night (Thanksgiving dinner) and already planning what to make, especially what will go along with the juicy and delicious roasted turkey. My family always like to serve it with roasted green beans, mashed potatoes, rice, salads, some type of stuffing, and cranberry sauce. But, I think baked casserole dishes are also a big hit for Thanksgiving dinner, right?
Keeping this in mind, I made this recipe a few days ago, and we love it. I was trying to make a veggie casserole because we already eat a lot at this dinner. I thought a lighter, veggie dish was the right way to go. Since this is a veggie casserole, many of you may think, “Hum… This is a little blah…” But you are about to change your mind! Give it a try.
The crunchy and yummy crust on the top of this dish and the softness of the veggies inside and the melted mozzarella cheese make this Broccoli-Cauliflower Bake a winner. Give it a try because it is really easy-to-make, gluten-free, hearty, and so cheesy.
I made this Broccoli-Cauliflower Bake on Sunday and kept it in the fridge for more than 3 days. I took some to work and warmed it up in the microwave for lunch, and it was still very flavourful. I believe you can keep it in the fridge for up 5 days, but I don’t think it will last that long just because this is so D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S.! The panko really adds that extra crunch. I’ve been using it a lot recently, see my Roasted Green beans with Garlic Panko and Garlic Panko Salmon Recipe.

Ingredients
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup gluten-free panko crumbs
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil you can use melted coconut oil or even melted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1½ cups mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450ºF.
- In a large pot, bring some water to a boil.
- Add the broccoli and cauliflower. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes. Don’t cook more than that because you will bake them as well. Drain, and set aside.

Tips
- You can use frozen broccoli and cauliflower florets if you do not have fresh ones. Just add them to the water from frozen.
- Feel free to add different dried herbs to the casserole such as dried thyme, rosemary, or basil instead of oregano.
- Feel free to use any type of melty cheese if you don't have mozzarella. Try gouda, gruyere, cheddar, or parmesan.
- To store: You can tightly wrap the broccoli-cauliflower bake, once cooled, and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To reheat: Reheat the casserole in the oven until warmed through. You can also reheat it in the microwave.

Wow this truly looks sensational. I wish I could have some of it right now. Perfect for the holidays up ahead.
Nikki says
This was super easy to make and really delicious! I felt like mine didn’t need so much bread crumbs, but all in all I loved it. I also didn’t use oregano or enough cheese because I didn’t have enough but it still turned out good! Thanks for the share!
Olivia says
You are so welcome! Thanks for your feedback 😉
Tera says
Am I missing what we do with the olive oil? Are we putting it with the breadcrumbs? I’m making right now and i’m thinking of just omitting it.
Olivia says
Yes, you will put it with the breadcrumbs. Thanks for catching it. I already correct it on the instructions.
Amy says
I find it a little to much cayenne is it really just 1/2 or is it more
Olivia says
It is 1/2 teaspoon, but you can use less if you wish 😉
Christina says
I don’t see where you put the parsley… I’ll just add it to the bread crumb mixture?
Olivia says
I’m so sorry about that. Yes, you add it to the bread crumb mixture. I will adjust the recipe to clear further confusion. Thanks for pointing it out!
