Kid-Approved Roasted Broccoli
Oxmoor House
Who said kids won't eat broccoli? I can get almost any kid to eat this dish. Roasting leaves it tasting its absolute best. Once you master the roasting technique, play around with flavor options. You can zest a lemon or grate Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the top after roasting, or mix in some currants at the end. Yum.

- 2 tablespoons dried currants
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
- 1. Place a large cast-iron skillet in the oven.

- Tip: If you're buying whole heads of broccoli, cut off the florets, and then cut the top half of the stems into 1/3-inch coins. Toss them in with the florets to roast. They're delicious!
