Roasted Broccoli With Cherry Tomatoes
"I happened to catch Down Home with the Neelys the other day and they made this wonderful dish. I couldn't wait to make it and it didn't disappoint! I have used a sliced firm tomato and it works ok, I think the cherry tomatoes are better."

Very tasty. I love the smell of roasted garlic. Roasting the broccoli seems to improve the taste measureably (not that I don't like broccoli, but my BF decided he did after this). 4 tablespoons of oil is excessive. I would have added maybe 3-4 teaspoons, but my BF had already added 2 tablespoons (he was helping me cook, and frankly he should have known better than to add all that oil). So, this dish turned out to be too oily for me, but otherwise the taste was great so I give it 5*. -
Oh, roasted broccoli never disappoints! I did halve the oil and red pepper flakes. -
This was excellent. I was able to do this in a cast iron skillet on the grill, instead of in the oven with great results. Made for ZWT6. -
Wow...did I love this! All my favorite ingredients blended together in the perfect veggie! I increased the garlic and used campari tomatoes. FABULOUS! -
A very colorful & tasty way to serve broccoli! Another time I might cut back a little on the red pepper flakes, but that's just my preference, & as is, this makes for a WONDERFUL SIDE DISH, & a definite keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]
