How to Add Flavor to Veggies

Making roasted veggies is a great way to add an extra layer of flavor with little effort. Cooking at a high temperature adds a bit of caramelization and crust which = flavor.

Add in some bold flavors like garlic (as in this recipe) lemon zest, parmesan or even chili flakes. Generously season with salt & pepper.

Ingredients

BROCCOLI Roasted broccoli works best with fresh broccoli for a crisp exterior. Can you roast frozen broccoli? You sure can! Frozen broccoli has already been washed and trimmed. Add olive oil and roast for 25-30 minutes.

This recipe would also be delicious with cauliflower or a combination of the two!

SEASONINGS Keep it simple and toss the broccoli with garlic and olive oil before roasting.

Kitchen Tip: Don’t toss out the stem!! Cut off the tough exterior and you’ll see a lighter portion in the middle. Chop it up and add it to the pan!

No Garlic? No Problem! The garlic cloves can be replaced with 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder or a teaspoon of garlic salt! If using garlic salt don’t forget to adjust the additional salt you add to this recipe.

How to Roast Broccoli

Wash and prep broccoli florets (per recipe below).
Toss with olive oil and seasoning.
Bake until tender-crisp.

Ready in 15 minutes this easy side dish is a perfect pair with any entree!

How Long to Roast Broccoli

Roast broccoli in the oven for 10-12 minutes for tender crisp. If you prefer it softer and more browned, cook for 16 to 20 minutes.

Kitchen Tip: Ensure the broccoli is very dry before roasting. Moisture in the florets will cause it to steam instead of roast.
