Preparation:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Step 6: Add the chopped broccoli and cauliflower florets to the skillet, and stir until they are coated with the spice mixture.

Step 7: Add the vegetable broth to the skillet, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Then cover the skillet with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8: Add the frozen peas and green beans to the skillet, and stir to combine.

Step 9: Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large casserole dish.

Step 10: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until it’s heated through and the top is golden brown.
