    Recipe Inspiration

    Tuscan Roasted Broccoli is my new favorite way to make broccoli! With crisp roasted broccoli seasoned with red pepper flakes and lemon juice, parmesan cheese, and shaved almonds, this broccoli recipe can be served with so many different good meals!

    You'll combine the ingredients, toss, move to a baking sheet, and bake! It's that easy!

    You can add even more flavor by drizzling with good quality extra-virgin olive oil right before serving. Sometimes I'll even add in the thick stalks of broccoli to the pan to reduce food waste. They are delicious in this recipe.

    Seasoning Variations - You can change up the seasoning as you like for this roasted broccoli. A few other ideas are to add diced garlic cloves, Italian seasoning, or 

    Cooking Variation - You can pan sear broccoli instead of baking it. Heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Mix broccoli with ingredients per the recipe instructions, then cook in the skillet until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

    Frozen Broccoli - Although I recommend making this recipe with fresh broccoli, you can make with frozen broccoli as well. Make the broccoli according to package directions, then let drain on paper towels to remove excess moisture. Follow the instructions and enjoy!
