Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss cauliflower and broccoli florets with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  • Spread vegetables on the baking sheet and roast for about 25 minutes until charred and tender.
  • Remove from oven and let vegetables cool slightly.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle cheese on half of it.
  • Add roasted vegetables over the cheese, then sprinkle more cheese on top and fold the tortilla.
  • Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

Use parchment paper for easier cleanup. Cheese blends add extra melty texture. Reheat leftovers in skillet for best crunch.
