Mediterranean Sheet Pan Oven Roasted Broccoli with tomatoes, chickpeas and capers. This is an easy recipe for a roasted broccoli side dish that you’ll find your self making over and over again. So delicious you won’t believe it’s so healthy for you.
This is one of those side dishes that I can see myself making once a week…forever. I found the recipe on Pinterest and it was one of those perfect storms where I had every single item on hand.
That is except for black olives and I just substituted green ones (pimento stuffed). I also added a can of chickpeas that I had in the pantry. We served this with salmon fillets and were feeling pretty healthy by the time it was all over.
Easy, fresh and delicious. The broccoli, chickpeas and tomatoes are simply coated with olive oil, garlic and salt and roasted until just starting to brown and then simply tossed with lemon juice, oregano and the olive and caper mixture.
The whole things warms into a bright and sassy side dish. Thank you What To Cook for this Mediterranean roasted broccoli and tomato side dish.
