    I love them all! I just seem to do broccoli the most because it is quick and easy. :(

    Tonight we had oven roasted broccoli.

    1 pound broccoli, rinsed and trimmed
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan

    Directions

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

    Cut the broccoli florets into bite size pieces. Place the broccoli into a mixing bowl and toss with the olive oil, garlic, kosher salt and pepper and set aside.

    Place in the oven and roast just until the broccoli is tender, 8 to 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven, toss in the cheese and serve immediately.

    I love broiling my veggies. Just about anything, slapped on a cookie sheet drizzled with olive oil lightly, sprinkled with sea salt ad broiled at 425 is tasty. Some things benefit from a squeeze of fresh lemon when they come out of the over. Seriously though, everything is tasty like this! Brussell sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, green beans...everything.

    Depends on what I'm having, but a salad is a favorite. I also like asparagus sautéed with garlic, pepper and cherry tomatos.
