When the oil is hot, carefully add the Parmesan-coated vegetables. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches, if necessary. Let the vegetables cook until a crust forms, about 3 minutes per side. Turn the vegetables only when they easily release from the bottom of the pan. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

- Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets. This will make them easier to eat and will help the dressing to coat them evenly.
- If you want to save time, you can use pre-cut broccoli and cauliflower florets. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
- Don't overcook the broccoli and cauliflower. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Use a light, flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a good option.
- Add some extra flavor and texture with nuts, seeds, or dried fruit. Chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, or cranberries are all great additions.
