I always liked cooking with broccoli, steamed, raw or pureed into a soup. Broccoli is very healthy and I love its subtle sweet flavor. This time I wanted to mix it up and roast it in the oven which keeps the broccoli crisp and tender. This makes for a great alternative to the old steamed broccoli. Actually, this was the first time I’ve ever made roasted broccoli and it became an instant hit, even for my husband!
The broccoli has a hint of maple syrup sweetness which caramelizes the florets wonderfully. You can also substitute the maple syrup with honey or agave syrup. I added chopped garlic, lemon juice and a pinch of chili for a little kick. For a nice weekend meal, serve with crispy salmon or herb pork chops.
