Roasted Broccoli Recipe
We eat a lot of broccoli at our house and this is the simplest and tastiest recipe of all. Blanching the broccoli will help preserve its bright color and crisp texture. Baking brings all the flavors together and adds a bit of caramelization for even more crunch. This Roasted Broccoli recipe is adapted from the Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli recipe on MyRecipes.com.
