The Best Broccoli

I know, the best broccoli? Sounds like a pretty ridiculous statement. Not so! Roasted broccoli will change your life. It has certainly changed ours. The Hubby is not much of a veggie man. He'll eat them if they are part of the meal, but he won't ever really go back for seconds. Then I found roasted broccoli. Frozen broccoli, olive oil, and seasonings. The Hubby could eat a whole pan of this stuff by himself, without any prodding from me. He LOVES it. I think the smoked paprika could be a big factor. The regular stuff just isn't good enough for us anymore. Once you go smoked paprika, you never go back.

Step one: Preheat the oven to 450. Open a one pound bag of frozen broccoli and put it in a big old bowl. Pardon the bad picture.

Step two: Odd the olive oil, I used 1/4 cup for the pound. Add seasonings and toss.

Step three: Dump the bowl out onto a baking pan and roast for 30-40 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
