Roasted Broccoli

Roasted Broccoli with Olive Oil and Lemon

February 29, 2012

Roasted broccoli with olive oil and lemon is a simple and delicious side dish. It a great recipe to try with kids or people that don’t love broccoli. I made a version of this for my two young nephews and it was a big success. Roasting sweetens the flavor of the broccoli, and the addition of lemon juice helps to caramelize tops of edges of the florets.

Steaming Broccoli

Steamed Broccoli with Basic Vinaigrette

March 7, 2012

This is a really easy recipe for steamed broccoli with basic vinaigrette. Broccoli cooks quickly when you steam it, so it’s a good way to go if you don’t have a lot of time. When I steam broccoli, I prefer to leave the florets with a few inches of stem, but give them a quick peel so it’s easier to bite into.
