Oven Roasted Broccoli with Roasted Garlic Chicken Gravy.... Here is a delicious quick healthy snack or a side dish for your dinner. However you eat it you will absolutely love it! Even if you don't like broccoli you have to at least try it this way! Enjoy! Roasted Garlic 1 entire bulb of garlic Olive Oil Take your garlic bulb and slice off the top of it Place the bulb into a piece of tinfoil or better yet use a terracotta garlic baker Drizzle olive oil all over the top Wrap it up in the tinfoil or put the cover on your terracotta baker Place in the oven and cook for approx 1 hour. Set your oven at 350-400 degrees Take it out when the garlic is soft Set aside to cool (Many times I make a bunch of this up ahead of time and freeze.  I take it out of the paper after it cools and freeze it loose in a baggie.) Oven Roasted Broccoli 2 Large bundles of organic broccoli Olive oil Grilling seasoning 5 Pepper mix seasoning Sea salt Wash your broccoli and cut it down the middle into two halves. Drizzle oil onto a cookie sheet or onto a jelly roll pan. Place your broccoli cut side down. Drizzle more olive oil over the top of it. Now sprinkle your seasonings over the top. Place in the oven and cook it for approx 20 minutes. Set your oven at 425 degrees. Broil for a minute or so at the end to add some extra crunch. While the broccoli is cooking make your gravy recipe below. Roasted Garlic Chicken Gravy 1 whole bulb of roasted garlic (do this ahead of time, directions above). 3/4-1 stick of butter 4-6 heaping Tbsp of whole wheat flour 4 cups of chicken broth stock Sea Salt to taste Pepper to taste 1 bulb of roasted garlic (mashed) Melt your butter in a saucepan. Add your whole wheat flour to the pan and whisk it into the melted butter. Now add your chicken stock, salt and pepper. Take the garlic that has cooled off and squeeze out your roasted cloves into a bowl. Mash them with a fork then add it to the gravy. Cook it on low until your gravy is to the desired consistency you want. You may need to add more flour or more chicken broth stock depending on how you like it. Once the broccoli is done place it onto a dish and pour your gravy over it. Ta-da it is done Now go and enjoy!! Dearest Lord, Thank you for the amazing foods you have created for us to eat and enjoy, in so many ways! In Jesus name I pray, Amen~ This recipe originally comes from Rachel Ray but I adapted it a bit.
