Garlic Roasted Broccoli with Sweet Dried Fruit and Sumac
Sweet dates and citrusy sumac season this garlic roasted broccoli side dish. Easy to make in the oven, this easy veggie side goes with just about any dinner.
Heat oven to 450°F. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to heat while you prepare the broccoli.
Cut broccoli into small florets, slicing large florets in half. (You'll need 6 to 7 cups of florets.) In a large bowl, toss broccoli with olive oil, garlic, sumac, salt and pepper.
Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and transfer the broccoli mixture to the baking sheet, using a rubber scraper to get all the good bits out of the bowl.
Return pan to the oven and roast broccoli until tender and a bit charred, about 15 minutes.
While broccoli roasts, slice dates on the bias, or slice dried figs thinly.
Add dates or figs and serve broccoli immediately.
Notes
Use other dried fruit like California dried figs. Slice the dried figs thinly and add as you would the dates.
