What's Cooking Tuesday Tasty Side Dish

This is a good side dish that will go with just about anything, but try a pan roasted 

Red Snapper or an Oven Roasted Whole Chicken!

ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND RED PEPPER
Adapted from Bon Appétit

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 pounds broccoli
3 large cloves of garlic, finely diced (use 2 cloves for a less garlicky dish)
Dried crushed red pepper (just a pinch if you want a hint of heat or 1/2 to 1 teaspoon if you want a heavy kick)
3 tablespoons oil (I use either olive oil or grapeseed oil)
Salt and Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 450 F. Separate the broccoli into small, individual florets. The smaller the florets, the crispier they get in the oven. Toss the broccoli well with two tablespoons of oil and spread on a baking sheet. Make sure the broccoli is spread out in one layer as you want each floret to have room to brown. Place the pan in the middle of the oven and roast for 10 minutes.

While broccoli is baking, finely dice your garlic and combine with the remaining tablespoon of oil in a small bowl. Add desired amount of red pepper flakes to the oil and garlic. Set aside.

After broccoli has baked for 10 minutes, remove from oven and add the garlic mixture to the broccoli, stirring well to combine. Make sure the broccoli is again spread out in a single layer and return to the oven for an additional 8 minutes. Stir the broccoli at least once to ensure the garlic roasts and browns evenly. Serve immediately.
