This goes well with the pasta and garlic sauce. Wash the broccoli and mushrooms ahead of time. You want to remove excess water before roasting.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Want to get your kids to eat their veggies? Make these roasted broccoli and mushrooms, and they'll ask for seconds. The broccoli is tender, yet crispy after roasting, and the earthy portobello mushrooms are savory. They're coated in a light dressing that adds a touch of heat from red pepper flakes and a bit of acid from lime. Overall, this is a simple, light, and flavorful side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds broccoli, stalks trimmed to 2 inches below crowns (about 1 large bunch)
  • 1/2 pound baby portobello mushrooms
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup grated Asiago cheese
  • additional salt and pepper, to taste

How To Make roasted broccoli and mushrooms

  • Cut the broccoli.
    Step 1
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Cut each crown of broccoli into small, roughly the same size pieces.
  • Cut the mushrooms in half.
    Step 2
    Cut mushrooms in half.
  • Toss broccoli and mushrooms with oil.
    Step 3
    Place broccoli and mushrooms in a large bowl. Toss with 3 Tbsp of olive oil, minced garlic, and salt.
  • Transfer to a baking sheet.
    Step 4
    Transfer broccoli mixture to a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread the broccoli and mushrooms so they do not touch each other.
  • Roast the broccoli and mushrooms.
    Step 5
    Roast broccoli mixture until crisp-tender and stalks begin to brown, about 25 minutes. I like to have the broccoli tops brown and almost burnt in some areas, but not all over.
  • Whisk together the remaining olive oil, red pepper flakes, and lime juice.
    Step 6
    In a bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, red pepper flakes, and lime juice.
  • Add dressing to broccoli and mix.
    Step 7
    Add the roasted broccoli mixture and toss to combine.
  • Add grated Asiago cheese and stir.
    Step 8
    Add the grated Asiago cheese and toss to coat. Salt and pepper to taste.
