Mmm. I have loved every recipe of yours that I’ve made, and this is no exception. I added diced smoked ham for protein and called it a meal. Yummy!

2. Garlic Parmesan Roasted Broccoli

Sometimes simple recipes are the best! I make this all the time as either a side dish or even a snack. I’ve used both broccoli and cauliflower mixed and even used frozen broccoli florets in a pinch. Great solid recipe!
