Before you start

Both recipes use 200°C. Prepare each vegetable separately and spread across two trays without crowding. If your oven cannot circulate air well, plan two batches.

Meal preparation order

Turn halfway and swap trays if needed. Test a thick carrot and cauliflower stem; one may finish first. Add lemon when serving as directed in each recipe.

Plan equipment and serving

These notes complement the recipes: equipment and available space can prevent two dishes from cooking together.

Combined shopping list for this menu

Choose servings for each recipe: a menu can combine different quantities. Shared ingredients are combined only when their preparation state and unit match.

Scroll the table horizontally on small screens; with a keyboard, focus it and use the arrow keys.

Add seasonings, herbs and accompaniments from the recipes. Optional toppings remain optional.

Spoons mean level measuring spoons. Mass and volume are not converted into each other. Round up purchases, then weigh the amount needed; for part of an egg, beat it and weigh the fraction. Cooking times do not scale with servings.
