Roasted broccoli, mushroom and pumkin seeds with grated Asiago


I'm always on the lookout for new veggie recipes. I'm sure I've mentioned this many times before but it's still true. This one I found on the internet and it's from Martha Stewart, but I've tweaked it a bit for my own tastes.

Broccoli is one of my faves so I'm glad I found this. And, I was surprised by the addition of pumpkin seeds, which I'd used mainly in salads and the maple cluster twists I posted a few weeks back. But, as I've been told, they're great in most dishes. And, I really should have been using them before.

I find this is really versatile so will go with many meat or poultry choices. And, feel free as I did, to change up the they of cheese you choose. I usually have Asiago on hand for pasta dishes, so that's the one I used.

It's quite an easy dish and most of the time consumed is in the oven. I'm showing the amounts used in the original recipe but like me, you may want to change them according to how much you need.


What you'll need:

2# whole broccoli; peel and slice the stems and florets into 1/2 inch pieces
8 large white bulk mushrooms; quartered (my addition)
1/3 c. raw pumpkin seeds
3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp grated Asiago cheese











What to do:

Preheat the oven to 425 F. Place the broccoli, mushrooms and pumpkin  seeds in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Line a baking pan with parchment paper and spread out the ingredients from the bowl.

Roast for approx. 20 minutes then let cool on the pan. Transfer to a serving dish and grate the Asiago over it all.


Serve and enjoy!
