Ingredients 


1/2 cup fonio, dry

24 oz frozen broccoli florets (about 4 cups fresh)

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon honey

1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/3 cup feta, crumbled

Salt + pepper, to taste


Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 400'F. 
  2. Toss broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Spread florets into an even layer onto an unlined baking sheet*. Bake 25-30** minutes, or until browned, crisp, and tender.
  3. Cook fonio*** according to package instructions, omitting any cooking oil.
  4. Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, oregano, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
  5. In a large bowl combine roasted broccoli, cooked fonio, olive oil mixture, cranberries, and feta. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!


Notes:

*You can use a lined baking sheet for easier clean up, but the broccoli may not get as crispy.

**If starting with fresh broccoli, your baking time is likely going to be 35-40 minutes, dependent on the size of the florets.

***Fonio is a grain resembling couscous. Almost any cooked grain would work well in this recipe.

There are some recipes we make the same way every time. Traditional family recipes, like Mom’s chicken or Grandma’s cookies, must be followed to create the desired result. Other recipes have more flexibility. Many recipes we come across while scrolling social media can be tweaked to be made more nutritious without compromising the recipe’s integrity. With this in mind, we can start with almost any recipe and still end up with something that sounds good and is more nutrient-dense.
