These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.
Enjoy!

Roasted Chile-Garlic Broccoli

This is such a fast, easy, and delicious way to eat broccoli, it has become our go-to broccoli recipe!
*Cooking Light suggests pairing this with Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish-Chive Sauce, which we have set aside to try but haven't made yet. We pairs it with Pork Tenderloin Medallions and Balsamic Reduction, which was OK, but we'll make it with the beef recipe next time. :)



Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 1/4 cups)
Total: 18 Minutes

Ingredients:
6 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
2 teaspoons sambal oelek (ground fresh chile paste) ~ we used Sracha :)
3/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon sugar
6 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
Preparation:
1. Place a small roasting pan in oven. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Place broccoli in a large bowl; drizzle with oil. Toss to coat. Add sambal, salt, and sugar to broccoli mixture; toss. Add broccoli mixture to hot roasting pan; toss. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes; remove from oven. Add garlic to pan; stir. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until broccoli is lightly browned.
