Ingredients

Broccoli

4 Cups broccoli florets
2 Tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Cheese Fondue Sauce

1 teaspoon ghee
1 clove garlic minced
½ Cup + 1 Tablespoon milk
¼ Cup grated pepper gouda
Pinch salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 Tablespoon spelt flour

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400℉. Place broccoli on baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly. Roast 15-20 min until tender and browning on edges. (Note cooking times may vary due to oven differences and broccoli size.)
While Broccoli is cooking, make cheese sauce. Heat ghee over medium-low until melted, add garlic and cook 1 min. Add milk, salt, and pepper and whisk for 2-3 min. Add cheese and whisk until melted. Add spelt flour and whisk to break up lumps for 1 more min. Turn off heat. Heat lightly when broccoli is done, if needed. (If sauce is too thick when reheating, add a teaspoon or two of milk).

Notes

If you can’t find pepper gouda, you can sub for regular gouda+ 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper, pepper jack, or pepper cheddar.
We usually have this as a veggie appetizer, but it also makes a great side with the cheese sauce drizzled over the broccoli.

Preferred ingredients – cooking olive oil: McEvoy Ranch Cooking Olive Oil or Thrive market Organic Olive Oil, ghee: Ancient Organics Unsalted Ghee,
