This recipe is (only slightly) adapted from Rachael Ray, from her 30 Minute Meals show. I felt like I was rediscovering broccoli all over again when I first tasted roasted broccoli. If you used to love broccoli but are tired of having it steamed, try this recipe. Read more . You'll be surprised and delighted by how flavorful it is. Ingredients:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, eyeball it |
5 to 6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped (i actually use up to a whole head sometimes, because i really love garlic) |
1 tablespoons chili powder |
1 tablespoon grill seasoning blend (eg: montreal steak seasoning by mccormick grill mates). i just use hot hungarian paprika, which is excellent, salt to taste, fresh-ground black pepper, and some red pepper flakes (these are hot & spicy; use to your tastes) |
1 large head broccoli, cut into thin, long spears (i use baby broccoli from trader joes and just trim the ends and halve the larger pieces.) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Place olive oil, garlic, chili powder and grill seasoning or paprika in the bottom of a large bowl. 3. Add the broccoli spears. 4. Toss to coat broccoli evenly. (I use my clean hands!) 5. Transfer to a large nonstick baking sheet. 6. Roast the broccoli until ends are crisp and brown and stalks are tender, 17 to 20 minutes. 7. Excellent as a side dish with meat, or pretty satisfying on its own with fresh steamed quinoa with a little butter and tamari sauce (for a vegetarian meal). If you're serving it as a main dish it won't feed four people. |
