After being on the road for 17 days, let me tell you I was so beyond ready to come home and cook for my family. While we found tons of great for us food on the road, there is truly nothing like having something home cooked. While in years past, to me home cooked would likely be something not so healthy - these days I was really excited to come home to make our favorite veggies. This Easy Roasted Broccoli is so simple to prepare and offers just the right flavor that makes even die hard broccoli haters love it!

This easy roasted broccoli is great on it's own, as a side dish or one of my favorite ways to serve it is in a salad. Roasting the broccoli with this tasty blend of seasonings brings out a rich flavor that adds the perfect punch to your chef salad or a simple pasta salad.
When your family balks at the idea of clean eating or increased veggies in their diet, try roasting or grilling instead of your typical cooking techniques. Not only does it offer a different flavor profile, but it adds great new texture that can help picky eaters want their veggies.

This looks and sounds so good! We love broccoli, but it does get boring sometimes. I don't want to add the extra fat from cheese all the time, so this is going to be my new go-to way of changing it up! YUM!
