Roasted Broccoli

Spending time cleaning up after dinner is not one of my favorite things. While cleaning up as I cook helps, there still is work to be done after clearing the table.

This recipe for Roasted Broccoli helps to make after-dinner clean-up a little easier. I just make sure that I make the olive oil mixture in a large enough bowl for all of the broccoli. I also line the rimmed baking pan with foil before roasting to make clean up easier. I have found this olive oil mixture is also great for roasting Brussels sprouts (cut in half before tossing in oil), diced potatoes, beets and red onions, or a mixture.

For removing the florets from the broccoli, use a sharp knife with a pointed tip so you can navigate around them. I’ve found Cutco’s Gourmet Prep Knife works great for this purpose.

For making the Parmesan curls, try using a Vegetable Peeler.
