Several years ago I stumbled upon this broccoli recipe. Â I myself love broccoli, so I was eager to try it - and I was not disappointed. Â I shared the recipe with my friend, Amy, who also adored it. Â Just recently she told me that she now NEVER prepares broccoli any other way because her kids love it roasted like this. Â If you don't like broccoli - try it prepared this way and I'm convinced you will be a broccoli convert! This dish is so tasty, and is a great compliment to any meal.
Making Roasted Broccoli
Preparing roasted broccoli is really a cinch. Â In a saute pan, melt some butter and add in a few seasonings like cumin and ground red pepper. Â Toss one head of broccoli, cut into florets, with the melted butter mixture and transfer to a baking sheet. Â Pop the seasoned veggies in the oven for about 15 minutes and you have the most delicious green side dish!
 
This side goes well with fish, chicken, beef, and pork! Â I've made this recipe more times than I can count, because it is so easy, fresh, and simple - with big flavor. Today I paired it with lemon lime chicken and a little brown rice. Â This meal is so healthy and filling, with the veggie as the super star.
I've linked a few of my favorite items from this post. Â I especially love this wooden spoon that my sister gave me for Christmas - makes me chuckle each time I use it. Â The spoon reads "If at first you don't succeed, order pizza".
