Ingredients
  

For the Vegetables
  • 1 head Cauliflower Provides structure and a hearty base; swap with broccoli for a similar bite.
  • 2 medium Carrots Adds natural sweetness and a splash of color; try parsnips for an intriguing twist.
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper Contributes freshness and a slight crunch; zucchini works well for a softer texture.
  • 1 medium Red Onion Offers mild sweetness when roasted; shallots can serve as a lovely alternative.
For the Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil Essential for roasting, aiding in caramelization; avocado oil makes a great substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness to the sauce; consider ghee for a dairy-free option.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Imparts aroma and depth; garlic powder is a handy alternative in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes Introduces a delightful heat; omit for a milder flavor or substitute with black pepper.
  • 1 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes in Oil Adds tangy richness to the sauce; fresh diced tomatoes can provide brightness.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Creates a luscious, creamy sauce; use plant-based milk for a lighter version.
  • 1 cup Vegetable Broth Enhances the depth of flavor; chicken broth works if you're not sticking strictly to vegetarian.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Offers creaminess and umami notes; nutritional yeast is a winning vegan alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Herb Blend Elevates the sauce with aromatic flavors; quick swap with dried herbs if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar Adds a balancing acidity; apple cider vinegar is a solid substitute.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Basil Introduces a bright finish when serving; parsley can be a lovely garnish instead.
