Roasted Frozen Broccoli

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds frozen broccoli or mixed broccoli, cauliflower & carrots
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon basil
¼ teaspoon onion powder

Directions

In a large bowl, toss the frozen broccoli with the olive oil, vinegar and seasonings. Cover well.  Spread the broccoli/vegetables on a baking sheet and broil on low until crisp-tender and browned in spots.  May be served hot as a side dish.

Vegetables can be cooled and used to top mixed green salad.  Top with roasted almonds and/or cheese, and fresh juiced lemon. Add beans and beets for a complete meal.
