Pioneer Woman Roasted Broccoli Recipes

CRISPY PARMESAN BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the broccoli, garlic, 1 tablespoon oil and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon oil to coat the bottom of a large ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron. Add the cheese in an even layer followed by the broccoli. Roast until the broccoli is slightly browned and the cheese is golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the ranch, sriracha, lime zest and juice in a small bowl. Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the sauce all over the broccoli.

SOUTHWESTERN BROCCOLI DIPPERS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Blanch the broccoli by throwing the florets into the boiling water for 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon, remove the florets to the ice water. When cool, drain and set aside. Keep cool in the fridge.
• To make the sauce, melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the green onions and cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour, whisk to combine and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Pour in the milk and heat until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the grated cheese, cream cheese, chili powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Stir to melt. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
• Serve hot as a dipping sauce with the cold broccoli.

PARMESAN-ROASTED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets, discarding the rest of the stalks. Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 8 cups of florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
• Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, pine nuts, Parmesan, and basil. Serve hot.

ROASTED LEMON-CHILE BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the broccoli on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss with the crushed red pepper flakes and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Roast until the broccoli begins to brown and crisp in places, 10 to 12 minutes. Finish by squeezing the juice from one of the lemon halves over the broccoli.

ROASTED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Place the broccoli florets on the prepared pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix well to thoroughly coat all of the broccoli with oil. Spread the broccoli in an even layer, with a bit of space between each floret.
• Roast until the broccoli starts to brown and the stems are tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss with parmesan cheese, if using.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

ROASTED BROCCOLI SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the olive oil, broccoli florets, red onion, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast, tossing halfway through, until the broccoli edges are crisp, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a bowl.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. Chop and set aside.
• For the dressing, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise and milk in a small bowl. Season with the sugar, paprika, 1 tablespoon of the chopped parsley, 2 teaspoons salt and a pinch of pepper and mix together.
• Add the bacon and 1 tablespoon parsley to the cooled broccoli, then pour over enough of the dressing to coat and toss until well mixed. Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley.
• To make ahead, assemble the salad, cover and refrigerate.

CHIPOTLE FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Mix together the honey, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and juice and zest of 1 lime in a small bowl to make a glaze. Set aside.
• Put the broccoli slaw in the bottom of a baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then toss. Scatter over the sliced sweet peppers and chiles. Top the slaw and peppers with the cod fillets. Season the cod with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the chipotle glaze over the fish and around the baking dish over the slaw.
• Roast until the fish is cooked through and flaky, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately squeeze over the juice of the other lime. Flake the cod into large chunks and sprinkle over the chopped cilantro.
• To build the tacos, place a couple chunks of cod into each taco shell. Top with a pinch of slaw, some sliced avocado, sour cream and hot sauce. Garnish with a lime wedge and squeeze over a little juice before eating.
