With the holidays fast approaching, it’s time to sift through old recipes, ponder new ones and somehow come up with a foolproof menu. Cranberry Almond Roasted Broccoli is the perfect side dish for all your entertaining needs. Not only because it has the perfect balance of savoury, crunchy and sweet, but because it roasts up in the same amount of time that it takes to rest a roast or turkey. Meaning, you don’t need to worry about oven space or soggy vegetables.
Cranberry Almond Roasted Broccoli cooks up al dente with golden roasted edges. Crunchy almonds and chewy, sweet cranberries add a wonderful dimension of texture and flavour that signifies the holidays. Quick and easy with little fuss and holds up well. Enjoy!
