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. 
Cabbage is everywhere for St. Patrick’s Day! I love boiled cabbage, though for years I avoided it. This looks like a way to really infuse some crazy flavor into it!
I love cabbage recipes. And anything with bacon is always a plus! Will be trying this soon.

Bacon is always delicious.
Made this for dinner tonight – it was wonderful! Thanks for the great recipe!!
p.s. I am in Cincy too – happy to see you are back and settling in! Also, have you ever been to BonBonerie in Madisonville? I have been trying to “re-create” their opera cream cake for years – let me know if you ever do! 🙂

So glad you liked it!
I haven’t been to BonBonerie yet. I will definitely have to check them out. I’ve also never made opera cream cake either…
