For a long time, I lived under the rock that thought grapes were only for eating off the stems. It was a harmless but very silly rock under which to live. I remember in grad school bumping into a recipe for focaccia with roasted grapes from Williams Sonoma. I never made it, but I daydreamed about it – a recurring problem of mine. And then finally a few years ago, I tried roasting grapes as I’d seen in a few recipes and on a few plates. And out from that silly rock I came…and in this roasted broccoli salad, they’re pure perfection!
Broccoli Salad with Grapes
Broccoli Salad with GrapesHave you ever roasted grapes? They’re impossibly good. They get a little crystalized and they’re rather sweet, so they’re great paired with other neutral or savory foods. I’ve topped salad recipes with them, finished off a burrata toast with them, and now, it’s this roasted broccoli salad with grapes.
Since it’s all about easy deliciousness this time of year, this is another recipe where everything cooks together on one pan! I really think that roasting foods together marries the flavors better than anything else you can do. The juices start to mix together and deliciousness transpires.
Roasting Broccoli
Roasting BroccoliIf you’re a fan of broccoli, then you know roasting it makes it even more delicious. And if you aren’t a fan of broccoli – I’m looking at you my dear husband – roasting it is a good way to enjoy the vegetable that is very good for you (and very delicious)! Roasted broccoli takes away a lot of “tree-like” crunch and adds a beautiful flavor and coloring to the florets.
Since looks are a good portion of taste, this is important! I love this roasted broccoli salad with grapes on its own, but next time I make it, I think I’ll add in some quinoa or farro so I can have it as my main dish! It’s that good!
