Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • Mixed Normandy vegetables: carrots, cauliflower, green beans – about 4 cups total, chopped evenly
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Seasonings and Oil

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

Cheese

  • 1 cup grated Gruyère or Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Prep the vegetables: Wash and cut the Normandy vegetables into evenly sized pieces to ensure uniform roasting. Mince the garlic and gather fresh thyme, salt, and pepper for seasoning.
  2. Toss with oil and seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until all vegetables are evenly coated.
  3. Roast until tender: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even caramelization and cooking.
  4. Add the cheese: Once the vegetables are tender and golden, sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese evenly over them. Return the pan to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt and slightly brown the cheese.
  5. Finish and serve: Remove from the oven, optionally sprinkle with fresh lemon zest for a bright contrast, and serve warm to enjoy the blend of creamy cheese and roasted vegetable textures.

Notes

  • Use room temperature vegetables to ensure even roasting and reduce cooking time.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; give vegetables enough space to roast rather than steam.
  • Gruyère is ideal for melting, but Parmesan, mozzarella, or cheddar are good alternatives.
  • Stir the vegetables halfway through roasting to prevent burning and enable even cooking.
  • Use fresh thyme or rosemary for the best herb flavor.
