Roasted Broccoli with Truffle Oil and Parmesan

Steam broccoli in the microwave in its package (if using pre-washed/ pre-cut) or in a sealed container with a tablespoon of water for about 2 minutes or till just crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.

Set oven to “broil” setting and place rack in the highest part of your oven. Lay steamed broccoli onto a sheet pan in a single layer, turning the pieces to make the dark green leafy tops face up – these are the tastiest parts to be broiled. Evenly drizzle or spray with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.

Place the pan in the oven on the top rack and broil 2 minutes. Check on the vegetables at this point – you want to see most, if not all, of the brocolli tops looking browned and a bit crispy looking (but not black). If it isn’t browned enough return to oven and broil 30 more seconds.

Once out of the oven, toss together, then drizzle with the truffle oil and grated parmesan and then toss again. Taste and adjust salt/ pepper/truffle oil as desired.

NOTE: I love this best served around a platter of fettucine alfredo or other creamy pasta and roast chicken. YUM!
