Balsamic Roasted Broccoli Recipe Is Fabulous (4 Ingredients, 20 Minutes) Vegetables Side Dishes Vegetarian Gluten-free Budget Recipes Italian Recipes Mediterranean Diet Recipes Low Sodium Recipes

Broccoli is always in my produce drawer. The vegetable is my go-to side dish for so many meals, and you can't beat the health benefits of broccoli. While searching for new broccoli recipes, I stumbled across this simple four-ingredient recipe for garlic roasted balsamic broccoli. After a few tweaks, this broccoli recipe was the result. Delicious!

Not only did this roasted broccoli recipe have me at four ingredients, but I love cooking and finishing dishes with balsamic vinegar. Balsamic vinegar is an Italian vinegar that is rich and concentrated in flavor. Investing in a good balsamic vinegar is something I highly recommend.

To make this easy gluten-free vegetable recipe you will need to grab these simple, wholesome ingredients from your fridge and pantry: fresh broccoli, olive oil, fresh garlic and balsamic vinegar. The broccoli spears are tossed in the olive oil, garlic and vinegar, seasoned with a little salt and black pepper, then baked in a hot oven for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Pro Tip: A good-quality balsamic vinegar makes all the difference in the world. I used Ponti brand balsamic vinegar, but use your favorite.

This crisp, tasty broccoli goes so well with chicken, beef, pork, lamb or seafood. I served mine with shrimp skewers on a bed of basmati rice. The broccoli would be delicious served with that Thanksgiving turkey, too!
