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 am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Oops! ingredients list omits shrimp and corn. Sounds intriguing tho and I’ll experiment.
I enjoy reading your recipes and have tried quite a few to great success.
Altho I no longer live there (thanks endless winter!) I grew up in MA so I enjoy your short bio. Great site.
Thanks!

Thanks for pointing this out! You’re right the shrimp and corn aren’t in the recipe. I’ll update it now.
The winters are ruthless in MA for sure!
Thanks for responding, Wicked Awesome. And thanks for indicating the amount of shrimp to be used.
But the amount of corn is still missing in the ingredients list although its included in the directions … so I’ll improvise. Thanks for a great recipe.
Sorry to be such a pain in the patootie.

Sorry for all the confusion! I didn’t use corn when I made this recipe. The original recipe called for 1 cup of frozen corn.
