BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER
This is a recipe from my 2008 Weight Watchers cookbook that we really enjoyed. I altered it slightly for our taste. It's a nice way to enjoy broccoli without all the cheese sauce. It's got a nice bite to it too. Feel free to leave out the crushed red pepper flakes. The frozen steam bags of broccoli work well with this recipe.

ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH VINEGAR-MUSTARD GLAZE
On its own, roasted broccoli is a treat: caramelized and crisp-tender, with frizzled florets and sweet stems. To prevent overcooking, roast at a high heat and on one side the whole time. Flipping the broccoli to brown on both sides increases the chance that it will dry out or turn to mush before the outsides are as caramelized as you like. To give the broccoli a little pizzazz, this recipe takes inspiration from a classic mustard pan sauce, which makes chicken breasts or steaks sparkle. Toss the broccoli with butter, vinegar and Dijon mustard right out of the oven, and the heat from the sheet pan will meld them into a silky, bright sauce.

- Add the butter, vinegar and mustard to the broccoli on the sheet pan and toss until the butter's melted, scraping up browned bits from the pan as you go. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Select the Freshest Broccoli: Choose broccoli crowns that are compact and have a deep green color. Avoid crowns with yellow or wilted florets.
- Prepare the Broccoli Properly: Trim the broccoli florets from the stems and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Cut the florets into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the Infused Butter: Combine unsalted butter, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let the flavors infuse for 15 minutes.
- Steam or Roast the Broccoli: You can cook the broccoli either by steaming or roasting. To steam, place the broccoli in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover and steam for 3-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp. To roast, toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 425°F for 10-15 minutes, or until tender.
- Add the Infused Butter: Once the broccoli is cooked, toss it with the infused butter. Serve immediately.
