Ahhh……

As much as I love the holidays, I’m always ready when January arrives.  Although I try to stay away from big New Year’s resolutions, a focus on healthy eating seems doable and welcomed by almost everyone.

After many lovely, albeit decadent, meals over the last month, a quick, flavorful vegetable seemed like the right place to start.  This Roasted Broccoli is just what the doctor ordered.

I’m not sure why I haven’t been making this broccoli for years.  A little olive oil, salt, pepper and a few minutes in a hot oven results in a crispy, beautiful, delicious side dish for just about anything you are serving.  As a bonus, it works wonderfully in a salad or with eggs the next day.

The first time I made it, the Roasted Broccoli didn’t make it to dinner.  I sprinkled it with a bit of sea salt and set it on the counter to cool and when I came back it was gone. I guess everyone in my house was ready for a flash of green this week.
