A vibrant and simple side to any main course.

Ingredients:
Broccolini (similar to broccoli but with smaller florets and longer, thin stalks)
Grape tomatoes
Olive oil
Salt
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375. Slice tomatoes. Chop broccolini into half-inch sections. Coat with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. (You could also use Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes.)
Cook & Serve:
Roast in 375 oven for 30-40 minutes, until tomatoes are roasted and broccolini is slightly charred. ANOTHER OPTION: Use frozen, already roasted tomatoes and add to the broccolini for the last 20 minutes, to warm.
A Little Backstory:
When you have to eat gluten-free, you become acutely aware of how many meals are laden with carbs and starches. I like potatoes -- especially in the winter -- but it's nice to have some non-potato veggie dishes as an option. The proof that this simple recipe can convert Non-Vegetable Eating Guests into believers is a vote of confidence.
