Holly’s Recipe Highlights
- Flavor: Tender-sweet broccoli florets with lightly charred edges have a rich, savory flavor.
- Difficulty: This recipe can’t be easier. Just season and bake from frozen.
- Prep note: Make a double batch for meal prep to enjoy all week long.
- Serving suggestions: Make a healthy snack for the kids and serve it with cheese sauce or fry dipping sauce.
Easy Ingredients
Broccoli: Pre-cut broccoli florets are perfectly bite-sized and always available. Other veggies to consider adding to the pan are frozen cauliflower florets, green beans, halved Brussels sprouts, or sliced carrots. Be sure that whatever frozen veggies you choose are all about the same size so they cook uniformly together.
Seasonings: Salt and pepper are just the basics for seasoning broccoli! Garlic powder, taco seasoning, or ranch dressing mix will make a new recipe every time.
Variations: Drizzle a little soy sauce or balsamic vinegar over the broccoli in Step 2 for more depth of flavor. Sprinkle some sesame seeds, sliced almonds, bacon bits, feta crumbles, or parmesan cheese as an elegant garnish before serving.
