"Eat broccoli. And cauliflower, cabbage, and other stuff that looks like it came out of a mini Tolkien forest." -Steve Edwards

The refrigerator light goes on...

You can purchase broccoli flowerets already cut up, but you can use the peeled and diced stems in salads to add crunch and flavor. (You could also use the leftover stems in Broccoli Cheese Soup.) There's just as much flavor in the stems as there is in the flowerets.


 

Roasted Broccoli with Garlic

Servings: 2 | Serving size: about 1 1/2 cups

Cooking Time: 30 Minutes

This recipe can easily be multiplied and makes good leftovers, hot or cold.

1 Tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
1 large head broccoli (or about 3 cups flowerets) (cut into small flowerets)
1/8 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

roasted broccoli with sliced garlic

Preheat the oven to 325F.

Place the olive oil in a large skillet on the range over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook slowly, stirring frequently, adjusting the heat so that the garlic doesn't brown.

After 3 minutes, add the broccoli, salt, and pepper, and toss well.

Place the pan in the oven and roast for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is cooked to your desired level of tenderness.

Serve.
