Roasted Broccoli
More roasted veggies? But of course! Hubby and I have been roasting anything and everything under the sun. Tossing veggies with some olive oil, salt, and pepper then cooking them at a high heat just brings out so much flavor, it’s really delicious.
Roasting broccoli has been a favorite recently since this veggie cooks quicker than some other veggies (brussels sprouts – I’m talking to you). See those dark edges on the little flowerettes of broccoli? Those are my favorite part!
Hubby likes some grated parmesan on his broccoli but I keep mine naked. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Roasted Broccoli
Yield: 2-4
Ingredients:
1 bundle broccoli crowns
1 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to avoid a mess.
Drizzle the olive oil over broccoli. Use your hand to stir it up so all the broccoli gets coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss again to disperse seasoning.
Roast in oven for 20 minutes, stirring once in the middle. Serve hot or at room temperature.

I’m planning to make these tonight! They sound so good!
I love anything with cilantro in it! Thanks!
WOW, what a great combo! I will definitely be trying these some time soon!
Check me out!

I love Cara’s blog too! These look delish, I love the drunken peppers too!
Wow, the drunken peppers sound like such a nice touch! These could easily evolve into Cuervo & Carona burgers – catchy, right?!
These look really yummy! You mentioned tequila but it doesn’t appear in the recipe… I definitely want to try these, but I need to know how much tequila to use because, well, not having tequila is not a problem in my house, haha!
Suzi,
The original recipe from Cara’s blog uses Tequila. I didn’t have any in the house, so the recipe I posted is the adaptation that I made instead. Click here to see Cara’s original version.
I was just wondering if it mattered what type of oatmeal we used in the recipe. Instant, slow cooking?
